The Saucy Sailor Boy   trad:  

Lyrics courtesy www.sailorsongs.com

He was a saucy sailor boy who'd come from afar
To ask a maid to be the bride of a poor Jack tar

The maiden a poor fisher girl stood close by his side
With scornful look she answered thus I'll not be your bride

You're mad to think I'd marry you too ragged you are
Be gone you saucy sailor boy be gone you Jack tar

I've money in my pocket love and bright gold in store
These clothes of mine are all in rags but coin can buy more

Though black my hands my gold is clean so I'll sail afar
A fairer maid than you I ween will wed this Jack tar

Stay Stay you saucy sailor boy do not sail afar
I love you and will marry you you silly Jack tar

'Twas but to tease I answered so I thought you could guess
That when a maiden answers no she always means yes

Be gone you pretty fisher girl too artful are you
So spoke the saucy sailor boy gone was her Jack tar
