Em Am
upon one summer’s morning , i carelessly did stray ,
Em B7 Em
down by the walls of wapping , where i met a sailor gay ,
Em Am
conversing with a bouncing lass , who seem’d to be in pain ,
Em B7 Em
saying , william , when you go , i fear you will ne’er return again .

Em Am
his hair it does in ringlets hang , his eyes as black as soles ,
Em B7 Em
may happiness attend him wherever he goes ,
Em Am
from tower hill , down to blackwall , i will wander , weep and moan ,
Em B7 Em
all for my jolly sailor bold , until he does return .

Em Am
my father is a merchantthe truth i now will tell ,
Em B7 Em
and in great london city in opulence doth dwell ,
Em Am
his fortune doth exceed 300 , 000 in gold ,
Em B7 Em
and he frowns upon his daughter , ’cause she loves a sailor bold .

Em Am
a fig for his riches , his merchandize , and gold ,
Em B7 Em
true love is grafted in my heart; give me my sailor bold :
Em Am
should he return in poverty , from o’er the ocean far ,
Em B7 Em
to my tender bosom , i’ll fondly press my jolly tar .

Em Am
my sailor is as smiling as the pleasant month of may ,
Em B7 Em
and oft we have wandered through ratcliffe highway ,
Em Am
where many a pretty blooming girl we happy did behold ,
Em B7 Em
reclining on the bosom of her jolly sailor bold .

Em Am
come all you pretty fair maids , whoever you may be
Em B7 Em
who love a jolly sailor bold that ploughs the raging sea ,
Em Am
while up aloft , in storm or gale , from me his absence mourn ,
Em B7 Em
and firmly pray , arrive the day , he home will safe return .

Em Am
my name it is maria , a merchant’s daughter fair ,
Em B7 Em
and i have left my parents and three thousand pounds a year ,
Em Am
my heart is pierced by cupid , i disdain all glittering gold ,
Em B7 Em
there is nothing can console me but my jolly sailor bold .
