My Jolly Sailor Bold

[Primera Parte]

Em
Upon one summer's morning
Am              Em
I carelessly did stray
     C             Em
Down by the Walls of Wapping
        B              Em
Where I met a sailor gay
Em
Conversing with a young lass
    Am      Em
Who seemed to be in pain
       C                Em
Saying William, when you go, I fear
       B            Em
You'll ne'er return again

[Estribillo]

Em
My heart is pierced by Cupid
  C           D          Em
I disdain all glittering gold
         C           Em
There is nothing can console me
       B            Em
But my jolly sailor bold

[Segunda Parte]

Em
His hair it hangs in ringlets
    Am       Em
His eyes as black as coal
   C         Em
My happiness attend him
  B            Em
Wherever he may go
Em
I left my home and family
     Am               Em
I'll wander, weep and moan
    C            Em
All for my jolly sailor
 B                  Em
Until he sails back home

[Estribillo]

Em
My heart is pierced by Cupid
  C           D          Em
I disdain all glittering gold
         C           Em
There is nothing can console me
       B            Em
But my jolly sailor bold

[Tercera Parte]

Em
Come all you pretty fair maids
 Am            Em
Whoever you may be
    C            Em
Who love a jolly sailor bold
     B          Em
That ploughs the raging sea
Em
While up aloft in storm or gale
    Am     B
From me his absence mourn
    C            Em
And firmly pray, arrive the day
     B     Em
He's never more to roam

[Estribillo]

Em
My heart is pierced by Cupid
  C           D          Em
I disdain all glittering gold
         C           Em
There is nothing can console me
       B            Em
But my jolly sailor bold
