 Come me own  one, come me fair  one, come now  unto me
 Could you fancy  a poor sailor  lad, Who has just  come from sea?
 You are ragged  love, you are dirty  love, and your clothes  smell much of tar
 So begone  you saucy sailor  lad, so begone  you Jack Tar
 If I am ragged  love, and I'm dirty  love, and me clothes  smell much of tar
 I have silver  in me pocket  love, and gold  in great store
 And then when  she heard him say  so on her bended  knee she fell
 I will marry  my dear Henry  for I love  a sailor lad so well
 Do you think  that I am foolish  love, Do you think  that I am mad?
 For to wed  with a poor country  girl, Where no fortune's  to be had
 I will cross  the briny ocean,  I will whistle  and sing
 And since you  have refused me offer  love, some other  girl shall wear the ring
 I am frolicsome,  and I am easy,  good tempered  and free
 And I don't  give a single pin  me boys, What the world  thinks of me
 ||  || repeat and fade
