Willie Taylor and his youthful lover, | |
Full of mirth and loyalty, | |
They were going to the church to be married, | |
He was pressed and sent on sea. | |
Dolly dilly dum dilly dum dum day | |
She dressed herself up like a sailor | |
On her breast she wore a star | |
Her lovely fingers long and slender | |
She gave them all just a smear of tar. | |
Dolly | |
On the ship there being a skirmish | |
She was one amongst the rest | |
A silver button flew off her jacket | |
There appeared her snow-white breast. | |
Dolly | |
Said the captain to this fair maid | |
What misfortune has took you here | |
I'm in search of my true lover, | |
Who you pressed on the other year. | |
Dolly | |
If you're in search of your true lover | |
Tell me what might be his name | |
Willie Taylor's what they call him, | |
But Fitzgerald is his name. | |
Dolly | |
If you'll get up tomorrow morning | |
Early as the break of day | |
There you'll spy your Willie Taylor | |
Walking along with a lady gay. | |
Dolly | |
So she got up the very next morning | |
Early as the break of day | |
And there she spied her Willie Taylor | |
Walking along with a lady gay. | |
Dolly | |
So she pulled out a brace of pistols | |
That she had at her command | |
And there she shot her Willie Taylor | |
With his bride at his right hand. | |
Dolly | |
When the captain came to hear | |
Of the deed that she had done | |
He made her a ship's commander | |
Over a vessel for the Isle of Man. | |
