The Sea-Apprentice Boy
Altan

When first I went to sea apprentice bound

I sailed the salty seas all 'round and 'round

I scarce had sailed a voyage but one

When I fell in love with my charming Anne

I went to my captain both stout and bold

And unto him my secret told

I love yon lass as I love my life

What would I give if she were my wife?

Well, the captain said, You're a foolish boy

For to court a girl that you'll ne'er enjoy

For she'll have lovers while you're at sea

And she'll be married e're you'll be free

Well, I don't know but I'll go and try

For she might fancy an apprentice boy

And she might alter her mind for me

And wait on me until I be free

Well, I bought her ribbons, I bought her gloves

These things to prove of a heart that loves

She accepted all and she was not shy

And she vowed to wait for her apprentice boy

When my ship is anchored and my work is over

I'll steer my barque for sweet Erin's shore

In my native country, my love I'll enjoy

And she'll welcome home her apprentice boy

So come all you sea apprentices where e'er you be

Never slight your true love while you're at sea

Just love her as you love your life

And she'll consent to become your wife
