Songtext
There lived a rich nobleman's daughter
Caroline is her name we are told,
one day from her drawing-room window
she admired a young sailor bold.
"Oh", she cried, "I'm a nobleman's daughter,
my income's five thousand in gold
I'll forsake both my father and mother
and I'll marry a young sailor bold."
Says William, "Fair lady, remember
your parents you are bound to mind
in sailors there are no dependence
for they leave their true lovers behind."
And she says, "There is no one could prevent me
one moment to alter my mind,
in the ships I'll be off with my true love
and he never will leave me behind."
Three years and a half on the ocean
and she always proved loyal and true,
her duty she did like a sailor
dressed up in her jacket of blue.
When at last they arrived back in England
straightway to her father she went.
"Oh father, dear father, forgive me,
deprive me forever of gold.
Just grant me one favour I ask you
to marry a young sailor bold."
Her father looked up on young William
in love and in sweet unity
"And if I be spared 'til tomorrow
it's married this couple shall be."
