lyrics

Come all you wild young men

A warning take by me,

Never lead your single life astray 

Into no bad company.

As I myself have done,

Oh in the merry month of May,

I was pressed by the sea-captain

On board a man-o-war I was away

Set sail for the ocean wide

And a bonny bonny flag we will fly.

Let every man stand true to his gun

And the Lord take who must die.

Well our captain was wounded sore

And so were the rest of his men.

The main mast rigging was scattered on the deck

And we were obliged to give in.

Our decks were spattered with blood

And loudly the cannons did roar
;
Thousands of times I wished myself home

Along with my Polly on the shore.

Ah she's a tall and a slender girl,

With a dark and a-rolling eye,

And here I lie bleeding on the deck

But for her sake I would die.

So farewell to my parents and friends,

Farewell dear Polly too.

I never would have crossed the salt sea so wide

If I had have been ruled by you.
I never would have crossed the salt sea so wide

If I had listened to you.
