[Verse 1]
C G F C
When first I went a sea-apprentice bound
C C F
I sailed the salt seas all 'round and 'round
G C F G
I scarce had sailed a voyage but one
C G F C
When I fell in love with my charming Anne
[Verse 2]
C G F C
I went to my captain both stout and bold
C F
And unto him my secret told
G C F G
I love yon lass as I love my life
C G F C
What would I give if she were my wife?
[Verse 3]
C G F C
Well, the captain said, "You're a foolish boy
C C F
For to court a girl that you'll ne'er enjoy
G C F G
For she'll have lovers while you're at sea
C G F C
And she'll be married e're you'll be free"
[Verse 4]
C G F C
Well, I don't know but I'll go and try
C C F
For she might fancy an apprentice boy
G C F G
And she might alter her mind for me
C G F C
And wait on me until I be free
[Verse 5]
C G F C
Well, I bought her ribbons, I bought her gloves
C C F
These things to prove of a heart that loves
G C F G
She accepted all and she was not shy
C G F C
And she vowed to wait for her apprentice boy
[Verse 6]
C G F C
When my ship is anchored and my work is o'er
C C F
I'll steer my barque for sweet Erin's shore
G C F G
In my native country, my love I'll enjoy
C G F C
And she'll welcome home her apprentice boy
[Verse 7]
C G F C
So come all you sea-apprentices where e'er you be
C C F
Never slight your true love while you're at sea
G C F G
Just love her as you love your life
C G F C
And she'll consent to become your wife
C G F C
When first I went a sea-apprentice bound
