My Jolly Sailor Bold Songtext
von The Hound + The Fox

Upon one summer′s morning, I carelessly did stray
Down by the Walls of Wapping, where I met a sailor gay
Conversing with a young lass, who seemed to be in pain
Saying William, when you go, I fear you'll ne′er return again
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
His hair it hangs in ringlets, his eyes as black as coal
My happiness attend him wherever he may go
I left my home and family, I'll wander, weep and moan
All for my jolly sailor, until he sails back home
My heart is pierced by Cupid


I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
Come all you pretty fair maids, whoever you may be
Who love a jolly sailor bold that ploughs the raging sea
While up aloft in storm or gale, from me his absence mourn
And firmly pray, arrive the day, he's never more to roam
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
