It's all the pretty female, as you may understand
Her mind been bent for ramblin' and to some foreign land
She dressed herself in sailor's clothes, oh so it does appear
And she hired with a captain to serve him for a year
Her cheeks they were like roses and her hair all in the [D] curl
The sailors often smiled and said [C] he looked just like a girl
Meeting all the captains, this bitter girl, a dead destroy
And the wasted swell of pretty male, the handsome cabin boy
It was in the bay of [Cm] Biscay, a girl and ship depart
Right among the sailors was a fearful flying [Fm] row
They tumbled from their [C] hammocks for their sleep, a dead destroy
And they swooned about the gruesome cabin boy
Oh doctor dear, oh doctor, the cabin boy did cry
The time has [Fm] come, I [Cm] am undone, and I will surely die
The doctor come a-runnin' and a [C]-smilin' and a-fun
To think a sailor lad should have a daughter or a son
The sailors when they saw the Duke, they all did stand and stare
The child belonged to none of them, they solemnly did swear
The captain's wife, she says to him, my dear, I wish you joy
It is I that you'll miss, the treacherous handsome cabin boy
Her mind been bent for ramblin' and to some foreign land
She dressed herself in sailor's clothes, oh so it does appear
And she hired with a captain to serve him for a year
Her cheeks they were like roses and her hair all in the [D] curl
The sailors often smiled and said [C] he looked just like a girl
Meeting all the captains, this bitter girl, a dead destroy
And the wasted swell of pretty male, the handsome cabin boy
It was in the bay of [Cm] Biscay, a girl and ship depart
Right among the sailors was a fearful flying [Fm] row
They tumbled from their [C] hammocks for their sleep, a dead destroy
And they swooned about the gruesome cabin boy
Oh doctor dear, oh doctor, the cabin boy did cry
The time has [Fm] come, I [Cm] am undone, and I will surely die
The doctor come a-runnin' and a [C]-smilin' and a-fun
To think a sailor lad should have a daughter or a son

It is I that you'll miss, the treacherous handsome cabin boy
