Lyrics

[00:10.77] As I rolled out one May morning down by the riverside
[00:18.46] There I beheld my lovely fair, oh then to be my bride
[00:25.65] Oh then to be my bride, my boys, and the chambers to behold
[00:32.61] May the heavens above protect my love, for a jolly sailor bold
[00:56.77] I'll give my love a gallant ship, a ship of noble fame
[01:04.16] With a hundred and seventy sailor boys to box about the main
[01:11.15] To box about the main, my boys, with neither fear nor doubt
[01:18.44] But with my true love in that gallant ship, i was sadly tossed about
[01:28.16] The anchor and the cable went overboard that day
[01:35.37] The mainmast and the rigging lay a-buried in the sea
[01:42.19] It was tempest sent bad weather and the raging of the sea
[01:49.93] I never never had but one true love, and he was drowned at sea
[01:58.85] Said the father to his daughter, " What makes you so lament?
[02:06.37] For there is a lad in our town who will make your heart content "
[02:13.44] “There is not a lad in our town, neither lord nor duke, " said she
[02:20.87] “Since the raging seas and stormy winds parted my love and me "
[02:45.58] No hankerchief shall bind my head, no comb go through my hair
[02:53.40] No fireside bright and nor candle light shall view my beauty fair
[03:00.42] Oh and neither shall I marry until the day I die
[03:08.12] Since the raging seas and stormy winds parted my love and I "
