It’s ſtraightway in bedlame, this young man was confin’d,
Quite bereaft of ſenſes, and iron chains bound;
Her ſpirit came to him ſaying young man revive,
For I never was ordain’d to be your wedded wife.

By my indentures, I was bound
To ſerve my time upon the ſea;
But I had not ſailed a voyage but one,
Till I ell in love with a young woman.
Lal de lal, lal de, &c.
The firſt time I my love did ſee,
Was dancing in her company,
With her yellow hair and rolling eye,
She ſtole my heart, and for her I die.
Lal de, &c.
To our boatſwain ſtout and old,
My ſecrets all I did unfold,
I love you girl as I love my my life,
What would I give that ſhe were my wife.
Lal de, &c.
O fooliſh boy! what makes you to think
That ever you will her enjoy,
For her own lover is out at ſea,
And ſhe’ll be married or you get free.
Lal de, &c.
But O ſays I I’ll go and try,
Perhaps that ſhe will fancy I,
