The Sailor Boy

[Verse 1]
Oh, once I was a servant maid, down in main lane
My master used to beat on me, my mistress did the same
Till early one morning, a sailor boy came ashore
And he's the one that turned me into a dirty little whore

[Verse 2]
He asked me for a candle stick, to light him up to bed
He asked me for his handkerchief to wind around his head
And me, being a little fool, and thinking it no harm
I jumped in bed beside him to keep myself a-warm
Singing home, boys, home, it's whеre I wanna be
Home, boys, homе with a girl on either knee
With that little ribbon taurplin hat and a coat of navy blue
Let him climb the rigging like his daddy climbed up you

[Verse 3]
He rumbled me, he tumbled me, he screwed me to the wall
He never let me catch my breath, I got no sleep at all
He upped me and he downed me, and he cocked me out and in
He fucked me black and blue, though, of course it was a sin

[Verse 4]
And early in the morning, before the break of day
He handed me a ten pound note and these words did he say:
"Take this my darling for the damage I have done
Nine months from now, you will have a daughter or a son
And if it be a daughter, have the darling on your knee
And if it be a son, send the bastard off the sea
With that little ribbon taurplin hat and a coat of navy blue
Let him climb the rigging like his daddy climbed up you"
