'Tis of a pretty female as you shall understand | |
Her mind was set on roving into some foreign land. | |
Attired in sailor's clothing she boldly did appear | |
And engaged with a captain to serve him for one year. | |
She engaged with the captain a cabin boy to be. | |
The wind stood fine and clearly and so they put to sea. | |
The captain's lady being on board, she seemed for to enjoy, | |
So glad that the captain had engaged with a handsome cabin boy. | |
Now so nimble was this pretty maid, she did her duty well, | |
But mark what follows after, the song it soon will tell. | |
By eating of the captain's biscuits her colour did destroy, | |
And the waist did swell of pretty Nell, the handsome cabin boy. | |
Now as through the Bay of Biscay our gallant ship did plough, | |
One night among the sailors there was a pretty row. | |
They bundled from their hammocks which did their rest destroy, | |
They swore about the groaning of the handsome cabin boy. | |
“Oh doctor, oh doctor,” the cabin boy did cry, | |
The sailors swore by all and one the cabin boy would die. | |
The doctor ran with all his might, a-smiling at the fun, | |
To think that a sailor lad could have a daughter or a son. | |
Now when the sailors all heard the joke, they all began to stare, | |
The child belonged to none of them, they solemnly declared. | |
The lady to the captain said, “My lad, I wish you joy, | |
For it's either you or I betrayed the handsome cabin boy.” |
