作曲：Traditional

A sailor's life it is a merry life

He robs young girls of

Their heart's delight

Leaving them behind

To weep and mourn

They never know

When they will return

Well there's four

And twenty all in a row

My true love he

Makes the finest show

He's proper tall

Genteel withal

And if I don't have him

I'll have none at all

Oh father my deer father

Build for me a bonny boat

That on the wide ocean

I may float

And every queen's ship

That I pass by

There I'll inquire for

My sailor boy

They had not sailed long

Upon the deep

When a queen's ship

They chanced to meet

You sailors all pray

Tell me true

Does my sweet william sail

Among your crew

Oh no fair maiden

He is not here

For he's been drownded

We greatly fear

On yon green island as

We passed it by

There we lost sight of

Your sailing boy

Well she rung her hands

And she tore her hair

She was like a young male

In great despair

And her little boat

Against a rock did run

How can I live now my sweet

William is gone
