Lyrics
she oft times swore her heart was mine
i strode the streets both up and down
She s wed to another, i shipped on board to serve my king
i m sure i ll stay on land no more
if the girl is married that i adore
she s wed to another
If the girl is married that i adore, my daughter s married Collins, i went straightway to her father s hall
I ll sail the seas till the day i die, she s a rich man s wife Early,, i went straightway to her father s hall
A thousand vows, i m sure i ll stay on land no more Early,, i left my dearest dear behind
And never a word from her could i hear, if ever i marry
And loudly for my love did call, i shipped on board to serve my king, and all the time i sailed the seas
Inquiring for my dearest dear, sayin we ll be married next time we meet, i shipped on board to serve my king
If the girl is married that i adore, i ll sail the seas till the day i die
I shipped on board to serve my king, so long and sweet, much better for life
you ll be the man
if the girl is married that i adore
If ever i marry, my love she takes me by the hand, if ever i marry
my love she takes me by the hand
And never a word from her could i hear, i shipped on board to serve my king
i went straightway to her father s hall
I ll break the waves rollin mountain high, i went straightway to her father s hall So, much better for life
Sayin we ll be married next time we meet, i could not find one moment s ease, sayin we ll be married next time we meet
so long and sweet
you ll be the man
I ll break the waves rollin mountain high, if the girl is married that i adore
Sayin we ll be married next time we meet, sayin we ll be married next time we meet
You ll be the man, at last we sailed into glasglow town
i could not find one moment s ease
much better for life
I ll sail the seas till the day i die, a thousand vows So, she oft times swore her heart was mine
At last we sailed into glasglow town, inquiring for my dearest dear Spring, i shipped on board to serve my king
and loudly for my love did call
And all the time i sailed the seas, i shipped on board to serve my king
and loudly for my love did call
I ll sail the seas till the day i die, and never a word from her could i hear Early,, i ll sail the seas till the day i die
I m sure i ll stay on land no more, i left my dearest dear behind, early in the spring
i could not find one moment s ease
I ll sail the seas till the day i die, she s a rich man s wife
much better for life
if the girl is married that i adore
and never a word from her could i hear
I went straightway to her father s hall, i went straightway to her father s hall
I shipped on board to serve my king, she s a rich man s wife The, she s wed to another
my love she takes me by the hand
In thinkin of my dearest one, i ll break the waves rollin mountain high, and never a word from her could i hear
Inquiring for my dearest dear, she s a rich man s wife, my daughter s married
At last we sailed into glasglow town, i went straightway to her father s hall Collins, if the girl is married that i adore
