| Then I'll haste to wed a sailor and send him off to sea | |
| For a life of independence is the pleasant life for me | |
| But every now and then I would like to see his face | |
| For it always seems to me to beam with a manly grace | |
| With his brow so nobly open and his dark and kindly eye | |
| Oh my heart beats fondly towards him whenever he is nigh | |
| But when he says goodbye me love I'm off across the sea | |
| First I cry for his departure then I laugh because I'm free | |
| -- Eliza Brock, 18th Century Islander | |
| Oh I'm a man that's handsome, I'm strapping and I'm young | |
| And when I gotta job to do, the job gets fuckin' done | |
| I want a love to keep me happy I want a love that's true | |
| And of all my past endeavors if it's smitten then I'm with you | |
| So I'll put on my buckle and shoe and I'll comb up me hair | |
| And I lighten up my belt and shirt so it's handsome I'll appear | |
| And I'll work both day and night to keep the money rolling in | |
| So I can come back to my love, so I can see you again | |
| Oh to walk the street or countryside whatever I may know | |
| I know that I will be O.K. where ever it is I go | |
| So I'm sorry I don't want children to follow at my feet | |
| I'm happy by myself not chasing kids into the street | |
| Oh I wasn't born for marrying for the game or for the blame | |
| And when my friends do call me I like hearing my own name | |
| But when he says goodbye my dear, I'm off across the sea | |
| First I cry for his departure, then I laugh because I'm free |
