Pirates – My Jolly Sailor Bold Lyrics

Artist: Pirates
Song: My Jolly Sailor Bold

[Verse 1
Upon one summer’s morning
I carfully did stray
Down by the Walls of Wapping

Where I met a sailor gay
Conversing with a young lass
Who seem’d to be in pain
Saying William when you go I fear you ne’er return again

Chorus
My heart is peirced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me

But my jolly sailor bold
[Verse 2
His hair it hangs in ringlets
His eyes as black as coal

My happiness attend him
Wherever he may go
From Towerhill to Blackwall
I wander, weep, and moan

All for my jolly sailor
Until he sails home
Chorus
My heart is peirced by Cupid

I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
[Verse 3

My father is a merchant
The truth I now will tell
And in great London City
In opulence doth dwell

His fortune doth exceed
300,000 gold
And he frowns upon his daughter
Who loves a sailor bold

Chorus
My heart is peirced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me

But my jolly sailor bold
[Verse 4
A fig for his riches
His merchandise and gold

True love has grafted my heart
Give me my sailor bold
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold

There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
Should he return in pov’rty
From o’er the ocean far

To my tender bosom
I’ll press my jolly tar
My sailor is as smiling
As the pleasant month of May

And often we have wandered
Through Ratcliffe Highway
Many a pretty blooming
Young girl we did behold

Reclining on the bosom
Of her jolly sailor bold
Chorus
My heart is peirced by Cupid

I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
Verse 5

My name it is Maria
A merchant’s daughter fair
And I have left my parents
And three thousand pounds a year

Come all you pretty fair maids
Whoever you may be
Who love a jolly sailor
That plows the raging sea

While up aloft in storm
From me his absence mourn
And firmly pray arrive the day
He’s never more to roam

Chorus
My heart is peirced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me

But my jolly sailor bold
