Testo di Jack the Sailor

Jack the sailor came on shore As free it was his fortune For he had plenty of gold in store Last time he sailed the ocean I'll go up to my true love's door To see if she loves me yes or no Saying: Nance, will you wed, say yes or no Saying: Nance, will you marry a sailor? Nance looked up all with a frown Do you think I'd marry you, no not I I will get some man of an high renown Do you think I'd marry a sailor? I'll go up to my true love's door To see if she loves me yes or no Saying: Nance, will you wed, say yes or no Saying: Nance, will you marry a sailor? Jack put his hands into his pocket Pulling out two handfuls of gold Saying: Nance, will you wed, say yes or no Saying: Nance, will you marry a sailor? I'll go up to my true love's door To see if she loves me yes or no Saying: Nance, will you wed, say yes or no Saying: Nance, will you marry a sailor? Nancy looked up all with a smile The thought of the money in her heart did go For I've been joking all the while Be sure I'd marry a sailor Jack put up a public line Plenty of gold and silver coin Leaving poor Nance with a fret and a frown She day she refused her sailor Jack the sailor came on shore As free it was his fortune For he had plenty of gold in store Last time he sailed the ocean I'll go up to my true love's door To see if she loves me yes or no Nance, will you wed, say yes or no Nance, will you marry a sailor?
