William Taylor was a
Brisk young sailor
Full of heart and full of
Play
Till his mind he did
Uncover
To a youthful lady gay
Four and twenty British
Soldiers
Met him on the king's
Highway
As he went for to be
Married
Pressed he was and sent
Away

Sailor's clothing she put
On
She went on board as a
Man-o-war
Pretty little finger long
And slender
They were smeared with
Pitch and are
On the ship there was a
Battle
She amongst the rest did
Fight
And the wind blew off her
Silver buttons
Breasts were bared all
Snowy white
