The Handsome Cabin Boy

Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com

As you shall understand                 

It's of a pretty fair maid                                     

She had a mind for roving

Unto a foreign land

Attired in sailor's clothing

She boldly did appear

And engaged with the captain for

To serve him for a year

She engaged with the captain

A cabin boy to be

The wind it was in favour

They soon put out to sea

The captain's lady being on board

She seemed it to enjoy

So glad the captain had engaged

A handsome cabin boy
