The Sailor and the Tailor







Sailor Lad and Tailor Lad

A sailor lad and a tailor lad,
And they were baith for me;
I wid raither tack the sailor lad,
And lat the tailor be.

What can a tailor laddie dee
Bit sit and sew a cloot,
When the bonnie sailor laddie
Can turn a ship aboot.

He can turn her east, and he can turn her west,
He can turn her far awa';
He aye tells me t' keep up my hairt
For the time that he's awa'.

I saw 'im lower his anchor,
I saw 'im as he sailed;
I saw 'im cast his jacket
To try and catch a whale.

He skips upon the planestanes,
He sails upon the sea;
A fancy man wi' a curly pow
Is aye the boy for me,
Is aye the boy for me;
A fancy man wi' a curly pow
Is aye the boy for me.

He daurna brack a biscuit,
He daurna smoke a pipe;
He daurna kiss a bonnie lass
At ten o'clock at night.

I can wash a sailor's shirt,
And I can wash it clean;
I can wash a sailor's shirt,
And bleach it on the green.
Come a-rinkle-tinkle, fal-a-la, fal-a-la,
Aboun a man-o'-war.

Rosehearty two play the game by the one taking hold of
the other's left hand with her right."
