Caroline And Her Young Sailor Bold

There lived a rich Nobleman's daughter

Caroline is her name we are been told

One day from her drawing room window

She admired a young sailor bold

She cried - I'm a Nobleman's daughter

My income's five thousand in gold

I forsake both my father and mother

And I'll marry young sailor bold

Says William- Fair lady remember

Your parents you are bound to mind

In sailors there is no dependence

For they leave their true lovers behind

And she says - There's no one could prevent me

One moment to alter my mind

In the ships I'll be off with my true love

He never will leave me behind

Three years and a half on the ocean

And she always proved loyal and true

Her duty she did like a sailor

Dressed up in her jacket of blue

When at last they arrived back in England

Straightway to her father she went

Oh father dear father forgive me

Deprive me forever of gold

Just grant me one favor I ask you

To marry a young sailor bold

Her father looked upon young William

And love and in sweet unity

If I be spared till tomorrow

It's married this couple shall be
