The Once Jack The Sailor lyrics

Jack the sailor came on shore
as free it is his fortune
For he had plenty of gold in store
last time he sailed the ocean.
Chorus:
I'll go up to my true love's door
to see if she loves me yes or no,
Saying: 'Nance, will you wed, say yes or no',
saying: 'Nance, will you marry a sailor?'
Nance looked up all with a frown -
'Do you think I'd marry you, no not I,
I will get some man of an high renown,
do you think I'd marry a sailor?'
Chorus:
I'll go up to my true love's door
to see if she loves me yes or no,
Saying: 'Nance, will you wed, say yes or no',
saying: 'Nance, will you marry a sailor?'
Jack put his hands into his pocket,
pulling out two handfuls of gold,
Saying: ' Nance will you we say yes or no,'
saying, 'Nance will you marry a sailor?'
Chorus:
I'll go up to my true love's door
to see if she loves me yes or no,
Saying: 'Nance, will you wed, say yes or no',
saying: 'Nance, will you marry a sailor?'
Nancy looked up all with a smile,
the thought of the money in her heart did go -
'For I've been joking all the while,

be sure I'd marry a sailor!'
Jack put up a public line,
plenty of gold and silver coin,
Leaving poor Nance with a fret and a frown
the day she refused her sailor
Jack the sailor came on shore
as free it is his fortune
For he had plenty of gold in store
last time he sailed the ocean.
I'll go up to my true love's door
to see if she loves me yes or no,
'Nance, will you wed, say yes or no',
saying: 'Nance, will you marry a sailor?'
I'll go up to my true love's door
to see if she loves me yes or no,
'Nance, will you wed, say yes or no',
saying: 'Nance, will you marry a sailor?'
I'll go up to my true love's door
to see if she loves me yes or no,
'Nance, will you wed, say yes or no',
saying: 'Nance, will you marry a sailor?'
I'll go up to my true love's door
to see if she loves me yes or no,
'Nance, will you wed, say yes or no',
saying: 'Nance, will you marry a sailor?'
I'll go up to my true love's door
to see if she loves me yes or no,
