billy taylor - carl peterson lyrics

[intro]
billy taylor was a sailor
full of joy and beauty gay
‘stead of billy getting married
he was pressed and forced away
but the bride soon followed after
under the name of richard harr
snow white fingers, long and slender
all covered down with pitch and tar

[verse 1]
she’s puttin’ on the sailors clothing
dressed hersel’ up like a man
at war she fought like a tardy sailor
all aboard the mary anne
a storm arose upon the ocean
she’d been there among the rest
the wind blew off hеr silver b*ttons
there appеared her snow white br**sts

[verse 2]
now said the captain “my fair lady,”
“what misfortune brought ye here”
i’m in search of a atrue lover
whom you’ve pressed the other year
now said the the captain “my fair lady,”
“come pray tell me what’s his name”
some folks call him billy taylor
but w*lly taylor is his name
[verse 3]
“if billy taylor’s your atrue lover,”
“he has proved to you untrue,”
“he got married ‘tay another,”
“left ye here alone to rue,”
“bright and early in the morning,”
“early by the break of day,”
“there you’ll see young billy taylor,”
“walking out with his lady gay”

[verse 4]
she rose early in the morning
early by the break of day
there she saw young billy taylor
walking out with his lady gay
gun and pistol she’s commanding
gun and pistol by her side
she has shot young billy taylor
walking out with his new main bride

[outro]
now says the captain “my fair lady,”
“come pray tell me what you’ve done”
i have shot young billy taylor
with a double*barrel gun
when the captain did behold her
and the deed that she has done
he has made her a chief commander
over a ship and a hundred men
