Sweet William Lyrics

[00:15.78]	“Father, father, come build me a boat
[00:22.35]	That over the wide ocean I may go
[00:26.79]	And every ship that I pass by
[00:30.87]	There I'll enquire of my sailor boy”
[00:50.25]	I hadn't been sailing but half an hour
[00:55.95]	Before I met a bold man-of-war
[01:04.29]	“Captain, captain, come tell me true
[01:09.66]	Is my sweet William on board with you?”
[01:13.86]	“No, kind lady, he is not here
[01:35.10]	That he has drownded most great I fear
[01:40.17]	The other night when the wind blew high
[01:50.34]	That's when we lost your sailor boy”
[02:03.93]	I'll sat me down, I'll write a song
[02:14.22]	I'll write it neat and I'll write it long
[02:17.73]	In every verse I'll shed a tear
[02:23.85]	In every line hold Willy dear
[02:39.39]	I wish I wish but it's all in vain
[02:50.64]	I wish I was a maid again
[02:53.22]	But a maid, a maid I'll never be
[03:08.19]	Till apples grow on an orange tree

[00:15.78]	" Father, father, come build me a boat
[00:22.35]	That over the wide ocean I may go
[00:26.79]	And every ship that I pass by
[00:30.87]	There I' ll enquire of my sailor boy"
[00:50.25]	I hadn' t been sailing but half an hour

[01:40.17]	The other night when the wind blew high
[01:50.34]	That' s when we lost your sailor boy"
[02:03.93]	I' ll sat me down, I' ll write a song
[02:14.22]	I' ll write it neat and I' ll write it long
