Start Jamming...
[E] Upon Monsalor's mourning, I [N] carefully did stray
Down by the walls of Wapping, where I met a sailor gay
[E] Conversing with a young lass, who seemed to be in pain
Saying, William, when you go, I fear you'll never return again
My heart is pierced by cupid, white as stain or [B] glittering gold
There is nothing can console me, but my jolly sailor boy
[E] His hair it hangs in ringlets, his eyes as black as coal
My happiness attend him, wherever he may go
From Tower Hill to Blackwall, [N] I'll wander, weep and moan
All for my jolly [E] sailor, until he sails home
My [Em] heart is [F] pierced by cupid, white as stain or glittering gold
There is [B] nothing can console me, but my jolly sailor boy
My [E] father is a merchant, the truth I now will tell
And in great London City, in opulence doth dwell
His fortune doth exceed three hundred thousand [B] gold
And he frowns upon his daughter, [Em] who loves a sailor bold
The [E] big for his riches, his merchandise [B] in gold
True love has grafted my heart, give me my sailor bold
[E] My heart is pierced by cupid, [N] white as stain or glittering gold
There is [B] nothing can [F]
console me, but my jolly [B] sailor boy
Should he return in poverty, from [G] o'er the ocean [B] far
To my tender bosom, [E] I'll press my jolly tie
[G] My sailor is as smiling, as the [B] pleasant month of May
And [E] often we have wandered, through a gloomy way
Many a pretty blue maid, young girl we did behold
Reclining on the bosom, of her jolly sailor bold
[B] My heart is pierced [F] by cupid, white [E] as stain or glittering gold
There is nothing can console me, but my jolly [G] sailor boy
My name [E] is Maria, a merchant's daughter fair
And I have loved my parents, of three thousand pounds a year
Come all you pretty fair maids, whoever you [B] may be
Love a jolly sailor, that ploughs a raging sea
I'll up [E] a loft and store, from the year's absence more
[F] And firmly pray, arrive the day, he's [E] never more to roam
My heart is pierced by cupid, white as stain or glittering gold
There is nothing can console me, but my jolly sailor bold
My heart is pierced by cupid, white as stain or glittering gold
There is nothing can console me, but [B] my jolly sailor bold
