[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
