His jacket was a deep sky blue and curly was his hair
His jacket was a deep sky blue, it was I do declare
For to reef the topsails up again the mast
And sail across the stormy sea
And sail upon the deep blue sea.
Some day he’ll be a captain bold, with a brave and gallant crew
Some day he’ll be a captain bold, with a sword and spy-glass too
And when he has a gallant captain’s sword
He’ll come home and he’ll marry me
He’ll come home and he’ll marry me.
