version from [[Chris Willett]] - as sung on ''[[The Roving Journeymen (LP)|The Roving Journeymen]]'' (Topic LP) <br />
<br />
#I am a sailor stout and bold<br />Many a time I have ploughed the ocean<br />Now I says: Brother sailors, I'll bid you all adieu<br />No more to the sea will I go with you<br />I will travel this country both far and near <br />And still be the rambling sailor<br /><br /><br />
#Then it's on to a village town I went,<br />Where I saw lasses plenty<br />I boldly stepped up to one of them<br />For to court her for her money<br />Now I says: My girl, what do you choose?<br />Ale or wine or the rum punch too,<br />All besides a fine pair of silken shoes<br />For to travel with your rambling sailor.<br /><br /><br />
#Now it's when I woke it was in the morn,<br />I left my girl a sleeping<br />I left her for an hour or two<br />While some other girl I went a courting<br />Now if she stays there till I return<br />She may stop there till the day of doom,<br />I'll court some other girl all in her room <br />And still be the rambling sailor.<br /><br /><br />
#Then it's on to a village town I went<br />Where I saw lasses plenty<br />I boldly stepped up to one of them<br />For to court her for her beauty<br />I says: My girl, be with all good cheer<br />I'll leave you not, so you need not fear<br />I will travel the country both far and near<br />And still be the rambling sailor.<br /><br /><br />
#Now it's if you want to know my name, <br />My name it is Young Johnson <br />I've got commission from the Queen <br />For to court all girls that's handsome <br />With my false heart and my flattering tongue <br />I'll court them all both old and young. <br />I'll court them all and I'll marry none <br />And still be the rambling sailor.</div>Andyturner
