Sally Brown

I love a maid across the water
A-weigh, hey, roll and go!
She’s Sal herself, yet Sally’s daughter
Spend my money with Sally Brown

Seven long years I courted Sally
A-weigh, hey, roll and go!
She called me ‘boy and Dilly Dally’
Spend my money with Sally Brown

Seven long years and she wouldn’t marry
A-weigh, hey, roll and go!
And I no longer cared to tarry
Spend my money with Sally Brown

So I courted Sal, her only daughter
A-weigh, hey, roll and go!
And for her I sail upon the water
Spend my money with Sally Brown

Sally’s teeth are white and pearly
A-weigh, hey, roll and go!
Her eyes are blue, her hair is curly
Spend my money with Sally Brown

The sweetest flower of the valley
A-weigh, hey, roll and go!
Is my dear girl, my pretty Sally
Spend my money with Sally Brown

Oh! Sally Brown, I had to leave you
A-weigh, hey, roll and go!
But trust me that I’ll not deceive you
Spend my money with Sally Brown

Sally Brown, I love your daughter
A-weigh, hey, roll and go!
For her I sail upon the water
Spend my money with Sally Brown
