about

Our take on the traditional tune.

lyrics

I earn my apprentice in Rosemary Lane
Where I have the goodwill of my master and dame
A sailor came by when we wanted to lay
And that was the cause of my misery

The sailor was drowsy and he hung down his head
And he asked for a candle to light him to bed
I lead him there too as another might do
Said he my pretty maid to my bed come unto

A foolish young maiden well I thought it no harm
To lie on my bed to keep his back warm
And what was done there I shall never declair
But I wish that short night had been seven long years
Break
So early next morning the sailor arose
And into my apron three guineas he throwed
Saying this I will give and more I will do
If you'll be my darling wherever I go

Now if it's a boy he’ll fight for the king
And if it's a girl she’ll wear a gold ring
She will wear a gold ring and a dress all aflame
And remember my service in Rosemary Lane

When I was in service in Rosemary Lane
I earn the goodwill of my master and dame
A sailor came by with me wanted to lay
And that was the cause of my misery
