Page:Sailor dear, with The answer.pdf/5

 Since to my jewel,

My friends are cruel,

I grieve alone with a heavy heart,

And fickle fortune

Which is uncertain,

Through which my jewel and I did part.

No man shall ever

Obtain my favour,

My heart is loyal and sincere,

Till death destroy me,

None shall enjoy me,

Except my jolly sailor dear.





OU'RE welcome to me,

From the stormy sea,

I'm glad to see you home again,

I hope kind fortune,

Sent you promotion,

Whilst you were ploughing the raging main.

My friends were cruel

To you my jewel,

Which cost me many a silent tear,

It is for your sake,

My dear heart did take,

That day you parted from your Molly dear.
