The Bold Privateer
Oh, my dearest Molly, it's you and I must part.
I'm goin cross the ocean, (love). I leave you with my heart;
My ship is now waitin', so fare thee well, my dear.
I'm goin' onboard the vessel The Bold Privateer.
Bold Privateer. Bold Privateer.
I'm just now going on board of the Bold Privateer.
Oh, my dearest Johnny, great dangers have been wrought.
And many's a sweet life on the sea has been lost.
Better stay at home with your charming Molly dear
Than to venture your sweet life on The Bold Privateer.
Bold Privateer, Bold Privateer.
Than to venture your sweet life on the Bold Privateer.
Oh, my dearest Molly, your friends do me dispise.
Besides, you have two brothers, who'd freely take my life.
Come, change a ring with me, (my love,) come, change a ring with me,
And let it be a tok-en when I'm cross the sea.
When I am cross the sea. When I'm across the sea.
Let it be a tok-en when I'm cross the sea.
And when the war's ended, should heaven spare my life,
I will return again to my intended wife.
And now I'll get married to my charming Molly (dear),
And forever bid a-dieu to The Bold Privateer.
Bold Privateer, Bold Privateer.
And forever bid a-dieu to the Bold Privateer.
I'm goin cross the ocean, (love). I leave you with my heart;
My ship is now waitin', so fare thee well, my dear.
I'm goin' onboard the vessel The Bold Privateer.
Bold Privateer. Bold Privateer.
I'm just now going on board of the Bold Privateer.
Oh, my dearest Johnny, great dangers have been wrought.
And many's a sweet life on the sea has been lost.
Better stay at home with your charming Molly dear
Than to venture your sweet life on The Bold Privateer.
Bold Privateer, Bold Privateer.
Than to venture your sweet life on the Bold Privateer.
Oh, my dearest Molly, your friends do me dispise.
Besides, you have two brothers, who'd freely take my life.
Come, change a ring with me, (my love,) come, change a ring with me,
And let it be a tok-en when I'm cross the sea.
When I am cross the sea. When I'm across the sea.
Let it be a tok-en when I'm cross the sea.
And when the war's ended, should heaven spare my life,
I will return again to my intended wife.
And now I'll get married to my charming Molly (dear),
And forever bid a-dieu to The Bold Privateer.
Bold Privateer, Bold Privateer.
And forever bid a-dieu to the Bold Privateer.
