SAILOR JACK.

Last Monday-morning there sailed from Cork
A Ship call’d the Montague,
There’s one on board I dearly love;
And I hope that he’ll prove true:
Kind Heaven send him safely back,
My life, my joy, my Sailor Jack.
  Fal-lal, lal-lal, lal.

The first time he came to see me,
He was drest in rich array!
He was drest all in hit rich brocades,
With other garments gay:
Deceive me not because I’m young,
You’ve got a false and flatt’ring tongue.
   Fal-lal, &c.

The second time he came to court me,
He was drest in Sailor’s array;
Ha was drest all in his speckled shirt,
With other garments gay;
So sweet he sat and sung by me,
With his good humour, frank and free.
   Fal-lal, &c.

If I on hoard with you should go,
Don’t be angry with me, my dear;
Your cabin I will closely keep,
No man will I come near:
