It was early early all in the spring
I went on board for to serve the king
I left my dearest dear behind
Who often told me her heart was mine
I dreamt I held her all in my arms
And that she gave to me ten thousand charms
Ten thousand charms and kisses sweet
Oh we were to be married the next time we'd meet
As I was sailing all on the sea
Still looking for opportunity
Well I did send letters unto my dear
But no reply from her did I hear
Did you send letters love unto this town
Well I vow and swear that I never saw one
It was your father's fault love and none of mine
Oh you need not speak hurt of womankind
I went down into her daddy's hall
And my true love loudly I did call
Her father answered me this reply
Oh your true love young man I must deny
Come tell me quickly what do you mean
Come tell me quickly come tell me the truth
Oh she has got married to a man for life
I beg you go choose some other wife
My curse on gold and on riches too
And all false lovers who won't be true
Well I'll sail this salt sea till the day I die
And I'll topple those waves that roll a mountain high
