William Hall Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As I was sailin' over the ocean
I unto myself did say
"If Molly is alive and I can find her
She'll be my bride someday"

[Verse 2]
A few drops of rain fell just as it happened
Just in time for the lovers to meet
"God's merry, God's merry, my pretty fair maiden
And it's how do you fancy me?"

[Verse 3]
"My fancies are on a nice young sailor
Who is lately 'cross the sea"
"Describe him, describe him, please describe him
Yes, describe him unto me"

[Verse 4]
"Well, he is brave and he is handsome
He is manly and he is tall
He has black hair and he wears it shingled
But oh the pretty eyes have it all"

[Verse 5]
"Oh yes, I've seen just that fellow
By the name of William Hall
I saw a cannonball pass through him
And incidentally, he did fall"

[Verse 6]
Oh, the screams of the pretty fair maiden
Oh, the screams of the pretty fair maid
"I'm ruined, I'm ruined, I'm ruined forever
Oh my God, I'm ruined," cried she

[Verse 7]
"Oh, cheer ye up, my loving sweetheart
It is false that I've told thee
I'll now convince you of this matter
Look, here's the ring that you once gave me"
