  C              F               
A ship's crew of sailors, as you

                   G              
Bound for the West Indies or some

I went to talk to him, but he

would not stand
  C                             F 
I went to talk to him, but from me
    G
 he flew

And my heart it went along with 
          G         Am   F  G  C
him and his jacket so blue______

     C              F             
Says I, "My noble sailor, I'll buy
  G        C

 you at large

 if my heart does be true

Ah, but then what would my own 
lovely Scotch lassie do"

[VERSE 5:]
     C        F            G
"For I have a lassie in my own 
         C
countery
                G                  
And I would not slight her for her

drawn out in its full
     C                            
I'll place it in my chamber quite 
F           G
close to my view
         C             F
