It happened one day in the bedroom where they lay,

And the tears from her eyes they did flow,

And to leave me on the shores for to mourn.”

“Oh no, no”, says he, “such things can never be,

For as long as I'm a sailor on the sea,

The ship that I command she will never reach dry land,

On the day that I prove false, love, unto thee.”

While the crew unto her gazed the captain to her says,

“Young man now were you ever on the sea?”

But ship me as a young sailor bold,

For I now do choose to go where the stormy winds do blow,

To purchase some silver and some gold.”

It happened one day in the cabin where he lay,

On the day that I prove false, love, unto thee.”

His own words he knew she spoke beneath the crew,

So into her arms flew like a dove,
于是像鸽子一样飞进她的怀里，
Saying, “Do not shed a tear you have followed me my dear,

And it's married, it's married we will be.”

Now this couple they are wed and together they do bed,
现在这对夫妇结婚了，他们一起睡觉，
And now they're living happy on the sea.
