When first I went a sea-apprentice bound I sailed the salt seas all 'round and 'round I scarce had sailed a voyage but one When I fell in love with my charming Anne I went to my captain both stout and bold And unto him my secret told I love yon lass as I love my life What would I give if she were my wife? Well, the captain said, "You're a foolish boy For to court a girl that you'll ne'er enjoy For she'll have lovers while you're at sea And she'll be married e're you'll be free" Well, I don't know but I'll go and try For she might fancy an apprentice boy And she might alter her mind for me And wait on me until I be free Well, I bought her ribbons, I bought her gloves These things to prove of a heart that loves She accepted all and she was not shy And she vowed to wait for her apprentice boy When my ship is anchored and my work is over I'll steer my barque for sweet Erin's shore In my native country, my love I'll enjoy And she'll welcome home her apprentice boy So come all you sea-apprentices where e'er you be Never slight your true love while you're at sea Just love her as you love your life And she'll consent to become your wife
