The Saucy Sailor, Quadriga Consort live

DVD: Quadriga Live

The Saucy Sailor

Come, my dearest, come, my fairest,
Come and tell unto me,
Will you pity a poor sailor boy,
Who has just come from sea?

I can fancy no poor sailor:
No poor sailor for me!
For to cross the wide ocean
Is a terror to me.

You are ragged, love, you are dirty, love,
And your clothes they smell of tar.
So begone, you saucy sailor boy,
So begone, you Jack Tar!

If I'm ragged, love, if I'm dirty, love,
If my clothes they smell of tar,
I have silver in my pocket, love,
And of gold a bright store.

When she heard those words come from him,
On her bended knees she fell.
To be sure, I'll wed my sailor,
For I love him so well.

Do you think that I am foolish?
Do you think that I am mad?
That I'd wed with a poor country girl
Where no fortune's to be had?

I will cross the briny ocean
Where the meadows they are green;
Since you have had the offer, love,
Another shall have the ring.

For I'm young, love, and I'm frolicksome,
I'm good-temper'd, kind and free.
And I don't care a straw, love,
What the world says of me.

I can remember a time when early music groups played early music and not Steeleye Span covers.

@molonglobert

I can remember a time when musicians didn't care about genres and pigeonholing.

The great thing about YouTube is that occasionally you come across something completely unexpected and beautiful like this.
