The Saucy Sailor
‘Come my own one, come my fond one,
Come my dearest unto me.
Will you wed with a jolly sailor lad

So begone, you saucy sailor boy,
So begone, you Jack Tar.’
‘If I'm ragged, love, if I'm dirty, love,
If I smell so much of the tar,
I got silver in my pocket, love,
And gold in bright store.’

‘To be sure I shall wed with Henry,
Come my dearest unto me.

‘You are ragged, love, you are dirty, love,
And you smell so much of the tar.
So begone, you saucy sailor boy,
So begone, you Jack Tar.’
‘If I'm ragged, love, if I'm dirty, love,
If I smell so much of the tar,
I got silver in my pocket, love,
And gold in bright store.’
So when she heard these words come from him,
On her bended knees she fell.
‘To be sure I shall wed with Henry,
