Come me own one, come me fair one,
Come now unto me,
Could you fancy a poor sailor lad
Who has just come from sea.

You're ragged love, and you're dirty love,
And your clothes smell much of tar,
So be gone you saucy sailor lad,
So be gone you Jack Tar.

If I am ragged love and I am dirty love,
And me clothes smell much of tar,
I have silver in me pocket love
And gold in great store.

And then when she heard him say so
On her bended knees she fell,
I will marry my dear Henry
For I love a sailor lad so well.

Do you think that I am foolish love,
Do you think that I am mad,
For to wed with a poor country girl
Where no fortune's to be had.

I will cross the briny ocean,
I will whistle and sing,
And since you have refused the offer love
Some other girl shall wear the ring.

Oh I am frolicsome, and I am easy,
Good tempered and free,
And I don't give a single pin me boys
What the world thinks of me.
