Jolly Sailor Bold Songtext
von Ginny Di

Come all ye pretty fair maids
Wherever you may be
Love a jolly sailor bold
Who ploughs through raging sea

From Towerhill to Blackwall
I will wander, weep, and moan
All for my jolly sailor
Until he comes back home

His hair does hang in ringlets
His eyes as black as sloes
My happiness is with him
Wherever he may go


My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold

Come all ye pretty fair maids
Wherever you may be
Love a jolly sailor bold
Who ploughs through raging sea

From Towerhill to Blackwall
I have wandered, wept, and moaned
All for my jolly sailor
Who never will come home

His hair did hang in ringlets
His eyes were black as sloes
My happiness is with him
Where′er he lies below


My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
