[verse 1]
adieu, sweet lovely nancy, ten thousand times adieu
i’m a-going around the ocean, love, to seek for something new
come change your ring with me, dear girl
come change your ring with me
for it might be a token of true love when i am on the sea

[verse 2]
and when i’m far upon the sea you’ll know not where i am
kind letters i will write to you from every foreign land
the secrets of your heart, dear girl
are the best of my good will
so let your body be where it might, my heart will be with you still

[verse 3]
there’s a heavy storm arising, see how it gathers round
while we poor souls on the ocean wide are fighting for the crown
there’s nothing to protect us, love
or keep us from the cold
on the ocean wide, where we must bide like jolly seamen bold

[verse 4]
there’s tinkers, tailors, shoemakers, lie snoring fast asleep
while we poor souls on the ocean wide are ploughing through the deep
our officers commanded us
and them we must obey
expecting every moment for to get cast away

[verse 5]
and when the wars are over, there’ll be peace on every sh-r-
we’ll return to our wives and our families, and the girls that we adore
we’ll drink our liquor merrily
and spend our money free
and when the money is all gone – we’ll boldly go to sea
