[Verse 1]
D G A
Come all you wild young men
D A
And a warning take by me
D
Never to lead your single life astray
G A
And into no bad company
[Verse 2]
D G A
As I myself have done
D A
It being in the merry month of May
D
When I was pressed by a sea captain
G A
And aboard a man of war I was sent
D A
When I was pressed by a sea captain
D A
And aboard a man of war I was sent
[Verse 3]
D G A
We sailed on the ocean so wide
D A
And our bonny bonny flag we let fly
D
Let every man stand true to his gun
G A
For the Lord knows who must die
[Verse 4]
D G A
Our captain was wounded full sore
D A
And so were the rest of his men
D
And our main mast rigging it was scattered on the deck
G A
So that we were obliged to give in
[Verse 5]
D G A
Our decks were all spattered with blood
D A
And so loudly the cannons did roar
D
And thousands of times have I wished myself at home
G A
All along with my Polly on the shore
D A
And thousands of times have I wished myself at home
D A
All along with my Polly on the shore
