Sailor Boy

A

[Verse]
       A
It was early, early all in the 
spring
            D                A
When my love Willie went to serve 
the king
               G             A
The night being dark and the wind 
blew high
            A
Which parted me from my sailor boy

[Chorus]
A
Oh father, father, build me a boat
          D      A
For on the ocean I mean to float
             G             A
To watch the big ships as they pass 
by
              A
For I might inquire of my sailor boy

[Verse]
            A
She had not sailed there for a week 
or two
                   D         A
When she spied the captain and all 
his crew
            G            A
Oh Captain, Captain, come tell me 
true
             A
Does my love Willie sail on board 
with you

[Bridge]

[Verse]
              A
Oh fair maid, fair maid, he is not 
here
             D                 
He's lost or drowned, that I am 
   A
afraid
             G                   A
On yon green island as we passed by
               A
T'was there we lost our fine sailor 
boy

              A
She wrung her hands and she tore her
 hair
            D               A
Just like a lady in deep despair
               G                   
She called for paper, both pen and 
A
ink
          A
And every line she did drop a tear
And every word she calls Willie near

[Chorus]
           A
Oh father, father, dig me a grave
          D                  A
Go dig it long and go dig it wide
             G                    
Place marble stone at my head and 
A
feet
                   A
That the world may know that I died 
in grief
