The Sailor Lass

A sailor lass came here last night
With sailing she was weary
A sailor lass came here last night
When the moon was shining clearly

He's taken the sailor by the hand
And led her to his chamber
He's given her some rum to drink
And her love it flared like tinder

Bonny laddie I'll lie near ye noo
Bonny laddie I'll lie near ye
An I'll gar all your ribbons reel
Or the morning air I leave ye

They hadn't been, but an hour in bed
But an hour at a quarter
When drums came beating down the street
And every beat was shorter

Its up, up, our Captain cried
It's up, up and away, then
It's up, up, our Captain cried
For the morn it's our sailing time

Bonny laddie I'll lie near ye noo
Bonny laddie I'll lie near ye
An I'll gar all your ribbons reel
Or the morning air I leave ye

It's when will you come back again
My bonnie sailor lassie?
And when will you come back again
And when will you marry me?

Oh, hold your tongue my bonny lad
Ne'er let this parting grieve thee
The Commodore I know you are
And now your ship is my ship!

Bonny laddie I'll lie near ye noo
Bonny laddie I'll lie near ye
An I'll gar all your ribbons reel
Or the morning air I leave ye

Bonny laddie I'll lie near ye noo
Bonny laddie I'll lie near ye
An I'll gar all your ribbons reel
Or the morning air I leave ye
