Jack The Sailor - The Once

Jack the sailor came on shore

As free it is was his fortune

For he had plenty of gold in store

Last time he sailed the ocean

I'll go up to my true love's door

To see if she loves me yes or no

Saying Nance will you wed say yes or no

Saying Nance will you marry a sailor

Nance looked up all with a frown

Do you think I'd marry you no not I

I will get some man of an high renown

Do you think I'd marry a sailor

I'll go up to my true love's door

To see if she loves me yes or no

Saying Nance will you wed say yes or no

Saying Nance will you marry a sailor

Jack put his hands into his pocket

Pulling out two handfuls of gold

Saying Nance will you we say yes or no

Saying Nance will you marry a sailor

I'll go up to my true love's door

To see if she loves me yes or no

Saying Nance will you wed say yes or no

Saying Nance will you marry a sailor

Nancy looked up all with a smile

The thought of the money in her heart did go

For I've been joking all the while

Be sure I'd marry a sailor

Jack put up a public line

Plenty of gold and silver coin

Leaving poor Nance with a fret and a frown

The day she refused her sailor

Jack the sailor came on shore

As free it is was his fortune

For he had plenty of gold in store

Last time he sailed the ocean

I'll go up to my true love's door

To see if she loves me yes or no

Nance will you wed say yes or no

Nance will you marry a sailor

I'll go up to my true love's door

To see if she loves me yes or no

Nance will you wed say yes or no

Nance will you marry a sailor

I'll go up to my true love's door

To see if she loves me yes or no

Nance will you wed say yes or no

Nance will you marry a sailor

I'll go up to my true love's door

To see if she loves me yes or no

Nance will you wed say yes or no

Nance will you marry a sailor

I'll go up to my true love's door

Nance will you wed say yes or no

I'll go up to my true love's door

To see if she loves me yes or no
