Rolling Sea

Don?t ya see the ships a?comin?

Don?t ya see them in full sail?

Don?t ya see the ships a?comin,

With their prizes at their tail?

Oh, my little rolling sailor,

Oh, my little rolling he,

How I love my rolling sailor

When he?s on a rollin? sea.

(When he?s on a rollin?, rollin?

When he?s on a rollin?, sea.)

Sailors they get all the money,

Soldiers they get none but brass,

How I love my rolling sailor,

Soldiers they can kiss my ?

Oh, my little rolling sailor,

Oh, my little rolling he,

How I love my rolling sailor,

When he?s on the rolling sea.

(When he?s on a rollin?, rollin?

When he?s on a rollin?, sea.)

How can I be blithe and merry,

With my true love far from me?

All those pretty little sailors,

They?ve been pressed and ta?en to sea.

Oh, my little rolling sailor,

Oh, my little rolling he,

How I love my rolling sailor,

When he?s on the rolling sea.

(When he?s on a rollin?, rollin?

When he?s on a rollin?, sea.)

How I wish the press were over,

And the wars were at an end,

Then every sailor laddie,

Would be happy with his friend.

Oh, my little rolling sailor,

Oh, my little rolling he,

How I love my rolling sailor,

When he?s on a rolling sea.

(When he?s on a rollin?, rollin?

When he?s on a rollin?, sea.)

When the wars they are all over,

Peace and plenty come again,

E?ry bonny sailor laddie

Will come sailing on the main.

My little rolling sailor

Oh, my little rolling he,

How I love my rolling sailor,

When he?s on a rolling sea.

(When he?s on a rollin?, rollin?

When he?s on a rollin?, sea.)

Hope the wars will soon be over,

And the sailors, once come home,

Every lass will get a laddie.

She won?t have to sleep alone.

.., my little , oh sailor,

Oh, my little rolling he,

How I love my rolling sailor,

When he?s on the rolling? sea.

(When he?s on a rollin?, rollin?

When he?s on a rolling, sea.)
