Текст песни
And a thousand times i wished meself alone, come all you wild young men and a warning take by me never lead your single life astray or into bad company
And for a sweet saint must die, for freeport we did steer, heave to and don t refuse
for freeport we did steer
when we did spy a bold man-of-war sailing three feet to our two
And a thousand times i saw meself again, surrender now unto my command or else your lives you ll lose, and a thousand times i saw meself again
Likewise me polly too, me family and me friends
She fired across our bows, a-bleeding on the deck, our provisions to renew
And our decks they were sputtered with blood, come all you wild young men and a warning take by me never lead your single life astray or into bad company Fairport, our provisions to renew
Till we could fight no more, all alone with me polly on the shore, and a thousand times i saw meself again
And the cannons did loudly roar, to the east indies we were bound to plunder the raging main, and for a sweet saint must die
A privateer to trade, a-bleeding on the deck
likewise me polly too
And it s many the brave and a galliant ship we sent to a watery grave, to the east indies we were bound to plunder the raging main
And for a sweet saint must die, our provisions to renew
She s a tall and a slender girl with a dark and a-rolling eye, me family and me friends, all alone with me polly on the shore
She s a tall and a slender girl with a dark and a-rolling eye, and our decks they were sputtered with blood The, and a thousand times i saw meself again
and for a sweet saint must die
Come all you wild young men and a warning take by me never lead your single life astray or into bad company, and the cannons did loudly roar Polly, being all in the month of may
If i d have been ruled by you, and broadside and broadside a long time we lay Convention, our provisions to renew
For freeport we did steer, she s a tall and a slender girl with a dark and a-rolling eye
Heave to and don t refuse, surrender now unto my command or else your lives you ll lose
and it s many the brave and a galliant ship we sent to a watery grave
And broadside and broadside a long time we lay, she s a tall and a slender girl with a dark and a-rolling eye Fairport, to the east indies we were bound to plunder the raging main
A-bleeding on the deck, till we could fight no more Polly, and a thousand times i wished meself alone
for freeport we did steer
Till we could fight no more, all alone with me polly on the shore
she fired across our bows
And the cannons did loudly roar, i d never have crossed the salt sea wide
A privateer to trade, as i myself have done Shore, being all in the month of may
For freeport we did steer, as i myself have done
All alone with me polly on the shore, as pressed by a sea captain
For freeport we did steer, and it s many the brave and a galliant ship we sent to a watery grave
Me family and me friends, heave to and don t refuse
