| Fairport Convention - A Sailor's life |
 |
Fairport, RT and June Tabor revive one of
Fairports early numbers at Cropredy in 1987.
"Oh, father build for me a bonny boat
That on the wide ocean I may float
And every Queen's ship that we pass by
There I'll inquire for my sailor boy"
They had not sailed long upon the deep
When a Queen's ship they chanced to meet
"You sailors all, pray tell me true
Does my sweet William sail among your crew?"
"Oh no, fair maiden, he is not here
For he's been drownded, we greatly fear
On yon green island, as we passed it by
There we lost sight of your sailing boy"
Well, she rung her hands and she tore her
hair
She was like a young girl in great despair
And her little boat against a rock did run
"How can I live now? My sweet William is gone
