Don?t ya see the ships a?comin? |
|
Don?t ya see them in full sail? |
|
Don?t ya see the ships a?comin, |
|
With their prizes at their tail? |
|
Oh, my little rolling sailor, |
|
Oh, my little rolling he, |
|
How I love my rolling sailor |
|
When he?s on a rollin? sea. |
|
(When he?s on a rollin?, rollin? |
|
When he?s on a rollin?, sea.) |
|
Sailors they get all the money, |
|
Soldiers they get none but brass, |
|
How I love my rolling sailor, |
|
Soldiers they can kiss my ? |
|
Oh, my little rolling sailor, |
|
Oh, my little rolling he, |
|
How I love my rolling sailor, |
|
When he?s on the rolling sea. |
|
(When he?s on a rollin?, rollin? |
|
When he?s on a rollin?, sea.) |
|
How can I be blithe and merry, |
|
With my true love far from me? |
|
All those pretty little sailors, |
|
They?ve been pressed and ta?en to sea. |
|
Oh, my little rolling sailor, |
|
Oh, my little rolling he, |
|
How I love my rolling sailor, |
|
When he?s on the rolling sea. |
|
(When he?s on a rollin?, rollin? |
|
When he?s on a rollin?, sea.) |
|
How I wish the press were over, |
|
And the wars were at an end, |
|
Then every sailor laddie, |
|
Would be happy with his friend. |
|
Oh, my little rolling sailor, |
|
Oh, my little rolling he, |
|
How I love my rolling sailor, |
|
When he?s on a rolling sea. |
|
(When he?s on a rollin?, rollin? |
|
When he?s on a rollin?, sea.) |
|
When the wars they are all over, |
|
Peace and plenty come again, |
|
E?ry bonny sailor laddie |
|
Will come sailing on the main. |
|
My little rolling sailor |
|
Oh, my little rolling he, |
|
How I love my rolling sailor, |
|
When he?s on a rolling sea. |
|
(When he?s on a rollin?, rollin? |
|
When he?s on a rollin?, sea.) |
|
Hope the wars will soon be over, |
|
And the sailors, once come home, |
|
Every lass will get a laddie. |
|
She won?t have to sleep alone. |
|
.., my little , oh sailor, |
|
Oh, my little rolling he, |
|
How I love my rolling sailor, |
|
When he?s on the rolling? sea. |
|
(When he?s on a rollin?, rollin? |
|
When he?s on a rolling, sea.) |
