Rolling Sea
Don' t ya see the ships a- comin?
Don' t ya see them in full sail?
Don' t ya see the ships a- comin
With their prizes at their tail?
Oh, my little rolling sailor
Oh, my little rolling he
How I love my rolling sailor
When he' s on the rollin' sea
(When he's on the rollin', rollin'
When he's on the rollin' sea)
Sailors they get all the money
Soldiers they get none but brass
How I love my rolling sailor
Soldiers they can kiss my arse
Oh, my little rolling sailor
Oh, my little rolling he
How I love my rolling sailor
When he's on the rolling sea
(When he's on the rollin', rollin'
When he's on the rollin', sea)
How can I be blithe and merry
With my true love far from me?
All those pretty little sailors
They've been pressed and taken to sea
Oh, my little rolling sailor
Oh, my little rolling he
How I love my rolling sailor
When he's on the rolling sea
(When he's on the rollin', rollin'
When he's on the rollin', sea)
How I wish the press were over
And the wars were at an end
Then every sailor laddie
Would be happy with his friend
Oh, my little rolling sailor
Oh, my little rolling he
How I love my rolling sailor
When he's on the rolling sea
(When he's on the rollin', rollin'
When he' s on the rollin', sea)
When the wars they are all over
Peace and plenty come again
Everybody's sailor laddie
Will come sailing on the main
Oh, My little rolling sailor
Oh, my little rolling he
How I love my rolling sailor
When he's on the rolling sea
(When he's on the rollin', rollin'
When he's on the rollin' sea)
All the wars will soon be over
And the sailors, once come home
Every lass would get her lad
She won' t have to sleep alone
Oh my little rolling sailor
Oh, my little rolling he
How I love my rolling sailor
When he's on the rolling' sea
(When he's on the rollin' rollin'
When he's on the rolling, sea)
Don' t ya see them in full sail?
Don' t ya see the ships a- comin
With their prizes at their tail?
Oh, my little rolling sailor
Oh, my little rolling he
How I love my rolling sailor
When he' s on the rollin' sea
(When he's on the rollin', rollin'
When he's on the rollin' sea)
Sailors they get all the money
Soldiers they get none but brass
How I love my rolling sailor
Soldiers they can kiss my arse
Oh, my little rolling sailor
Oh, my little rolling he
How I love my rolling sailor
When he's on the rolling sea
(When he's on the rollin', rollin'
When he's on the rollin', sea)
How can I be blithe and merry
With my true love far from me?
All those pretty little sailors
They've been pressed and taken to sea
Oh, my little rolling sailor
Oh, my little rolling he
How I love my rolling sailor
When he's on the rolling sea
(When he's on the rollin', rollin'
When he's on the rollin', sea)
How I wish the press were over
And the wars were at an end
Then every sailor laddie
Would be happy with his friend
Oh, my little rolling sailor
Oh, my little rolling he
How I love my rolling sailor
When he's on the rolling sea
(When he's on the rollin', rollin'
When he' s on the rollin', sea)
When the wars they are all over
Peace and plenty come again
Everybody's sailor laddie
Will come sailing on the main
Oh, My little rolling sailor
Oh, my little rolling he
How I love my rolling sailor
When he's on the rolling sea
(When he's on the rollin', rollin'
When he's on the rollin' sea)
All the wars will soon be over
And the sailors, once come home
Every lass would get her lad
She won' t have to sleep alone
Oh my little rolling sailor
Oh, my little rolling he
How I love my rolling sailor
When he's on the rolling' sea
(When he's on the rollin' rollin'
When he's on the rolling, sea)
