Verse
Oh a Csailor's life is a Dweary life
For he Crobs the girls of Dtheir delight
Causes them to weep causes them to mourn
GLoss of a true love Dnever to return
Verse
Oh Cfather father Dbuild me a boat
And Con the world's oceans I Dwill float
Hail each captain as I pass by
GThere I'll ask for my sailor Dboy
Verse
Oh Ccaptain captain Dtell me true
Does Cmy own Willie Dsail with you?
Tell me soon to give me joy
GNone will I have but my sailor Dboy
Verse
Oh Cno kind lady Dhe's not here
He Cdrowned in the gulf and we Dburied him there
Upon the island as we passed by
GThere we left your sailor Dboy
Verse
Oh she Crung her hands and Dtore her hair
Just Clike some lady in Dgreat despair
Called for a chair to sit her down
GPenningdon for to write it Ddown
Verse
Oh Cdig my grave wide and Ddeep
Put a Cmarble stone at the Dhead and feet
On my grave a turtle dove
GTell the world I died for my Dlove
Verse
Oh a Csailor's life is a Dweary life
For he Crobs the girls of Dtheir delight
Causes them to weep causes them to mourn
GLoss of a true love Dnever to return
