Rolling Sea Lyrics

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 the 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

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.)

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

Oh, 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 rollin' sea.)
