W:William Taylor was a brisk young sailor, full of heart and full of play,
W:till he did his mind uncover to a youthful lady gay.
W:Four and twenty British sailors, met him on the king's highway,
W:As he went for to be married, pressed he was and sent away.

W:Chorus:
W:Folleri-de-dom, de- daerai diddero, folleri-de-dom, domme daerai dae.
W:Folleri-de-dom, de- daerai diddero, folleri-de-dom, domme daerai dae.

W:Sailor's clothing she put on, and she went onboard a man-o-war,
W:Her pretty little fingers long and slender, they were smeared with pitch and tar.
W:
W:On that ship there was a battle, she amongst the rest did fight,
W:The wind blew off her silver buttons, breasts were bared all snowy white.
W:
W:Chorus
W:
W:When the captain did discover, he said "Fair maid, what brought you here?"
W:"Sir, I'm seeking William Taylor, pressed he was by you last year!"
W:"If you rise up in the morning, early at the break of day,
W:There you'll spy young William Taylor, walking with his lady gay."
W:
W:Chorus
W:
W:She rose early in the morning, early at the break of day.
W:There she spied young William Taylor, walking with his lady gay.
W:She procured a pair of pistols, on the ground where she did stand.
W:There she shot poor William Taylor, and the lady at his right hand.
W:
W:Chorus
