Willie Taylor
Uncle Earl

Willie Taylor and his youthful lover,

Full of mirth and loyalty,

They were going to the church to be married,

He was pressed and sent on sea.

Dolly dilly dum dilly dum dum day

She dressed herself up like a sailor

On her breast she wore a star

Her lovely fingers long and slender

She gave them all just a smear of tar.

Dolly

On the ship there being a skirmish

She was one amongst the rest

A silver button flew off her jacket

There appeared her snow-white breast.

Dolly

Said the captain to this fair maid

What misfortune has took you here

I'm in search of my true lover,

Who you pressed on the other year.

Dolly

If you're in search of your true lover

Tell me what might be his name

Willie Taylor's what they call him,

But Fitzgerald is his name.

Dolly

If you'll get up tomorrow morning

Early as the break of day

There you'll spy your Willie Taylor

Walking along with a lady gay.

Dolly

So she got up the very next morning

Early as the break of day

And there she spied her Willie Taylor

Walking along with a lady gay.

Dolly

So she pulled out a brace of pistols

That she had at her command

And there she shot her Willie Taylor

With his bride at his right hand.

Dolly

When the captain came to hear

Of the deed that she had done

He made her a ship's commander

Over a vessel for the Isle of Man.

Dolly
