Verse 1:

        A
Come me own one, come me fair one

Come now unto me

           Dm            A
Could you fancy a poor sailor lad

                    G   D D/F# D D/A D/G D D6 *
Who has just come from sea
Verse 2:

         A
You are ragged love and you're dirty love

And your clothes smell much of tar

       Dm             A
So be gone you saucy sailor lad

                 G   D D/F# D D/A D/G D D6 *
So be gone you Jack Tar

Verse 3:

        A
If I am ragged love and I'm dirty love

And me clothes smell much of tar

        Dm           A
I have silver in me pocket love

              G     D D/F# D D/A D/G D D6 *
And gold in great store


Verse 4:

          A
And then when she heard him say say

On her bended knee she fell

        Dm           A
I will marry my dear Henry

For I love a sailor lad so well

Do you think that I, I am foolish love

Do you think that I am mad

For to wed with a poor country girl

Where no fortune's to be had

        A
I will cross the briny ocean

I will whistle and sing

And since you've refused the offer love

                            G   D D/F# D D/A D/G D D6 *
Some other girl shall wear the ring

Oh I am frolicsome and I am easy

Good tempered and free

What the world thinks of me
