And if that will not do my dear, here is as much more,
Will let me sail a day with you, O no my dearest no.
Will let me sail a day with you, O no my dearest no.
Then jacket and blue trowsers I freely put on,
I will pass for your messmate as we sail along,
Your watches I will stand my dear if you will let me go
Will you let me go along with you, no hang me if I do.
I'll go down into some nunnery and there I'll end my life,
I never will be married nor yet be no man's wife,
But constant and true hearted for ever I'll remain,
I never will get married till my sailor comes again.
I will pass for your messmate as we sail along,

I never will be married nor yet be no man's wife,
But constant and true hearted for ever I'll remain,

FINIS.
