My Jolly Sailor Bold

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
