Does my sweet Willie sail with you
No he does not sail with me
For he is drowned in the sea.

Go bring go bring him back to me

And there I would lay down to die

Plant on my grave a \'lillow tree
That many may weep and mourn for me.

The Sweet Sailor Boy.
Ob a Sailor's lire is a cruel lif e,
Has robbed some lad.y of her hearts d.eli:;ht.
She causecl me to weep and she caused me to mourn
The loss of ~ true love never to return.
Oh Father,Oh Father ,;;o builfl me a "boat
Far oTer the ocean I may float.
J..nslver me quick for it will give me joy.
For I neTer loved any but my Sweet Sailor Boy.
Dark was t he color of my true love's hair.
His cheek was like son e lily f'air.
If he'~ only return 'twould give me joy
For I neTer loTed any but my Swe et Sailor Boy.
Oh Captain,Oh Captain,tell me true,
Did my Sweet lTillie sail with you!
.Answer me quielc f' or it will giTe c.e joy.
I neTer liTed any but my Sweet ailor Boy.
She looked down the shore and looked in Ta in;
Saw two ships return froc it pain.
~ he halted each Captain as t hey pa ssed. by t here.
A.nU. t here she enquired f'or her Sweet Sailor Boy.
'
Oh s he callecl for a chair to s it upon,
A pen and ink to write i t a om. •
A.t the end o:r eTery line she dropped a tear,
A.t the end of' every verse cried, Oh my tlear.
Go d.ig my grave b oth wid e a nd deep.
Put a marble stone at my head a nd feet •
