about

Tha romantic story o' a boy who wants ta marry a maid, but he's poor. So, he goes fishin' tha whale, but cannot get enough money. Then, goes on account, an' in tha end kidnaps tha lady, an' they go a-piratin' togetharrrr!

lyrics

Well, it's o' a young sailor boy, an' William was his name.
He fell in love wi' a fair maid, but her father was unfair.
He said ta William "Show yer coins, an' married ye will be!"
So, William took his things an' went a-cruisin' on tha seas.
He sailed on a fishin' boat ta catch tha Greenland whale.
All day long he broke his back, but richness was far away.
"A slave ye arrrr, m'bonny boy! An' money ye'll never save!"
'Tis what tha first mate told him, a-cruisin' on tha seas.
Young William turned silently sad, 'cause wed he could never be.
No job can give tha money he needs: he's only a strong young slave!
He had a thought ta give away an' fer fortune search an' try...
He became a scurvy buccaneer an' went a-cruisin' on tha seas!
Plunderin' an' pillagin' his fortune went good again!
Now coins William had enough ta marry that fair maid.
But in town was ready tha sad rope ta break his pirate's neck!
He took her an' together went a-cruisin' on tha seas!
So, young men an' women fer a good job ye hope.
Ta work hard all day or night fer some pieces o' eight.
Tha right ta live a happy life it is not made fer slaves...
If yer chances thay arrr all gone, come a-cruisin' on tha seas!
