I courted a sailor for six months and many,
I courted a sailor, now he's far from me.
I courted a sailor for six months and many,
I courted a sailor, now he's far from me.
On a fine summer's evening he said his heart was grieving
On a fine summer's evening these words he said to me
Oh I'm bound for the waves, the waves dearest Annie,
I'm bound for the waves, the waves on the sea.
Oh I'm bound for the waves, the waves dearest Annie,
I'm bound for the waves, the captain calls me.
Me heart has been yours now for six months and many,
Me heart has been yours now and will always remain.
Me heart has been yours now for six months and many,
Me heart has been yours now and will always remain.
Take with you me ring and me heart you'll always bring,
Take with you me ring when you sail away to sea.
Oh I'm bound for the waves, the waves dearest Annie,
I'm bound for the waves, the waves on the sea.
Oh I'm bound for the waves, the waves dearest Annie,
I'm bound for the waves, the captain calls me.
I'll wait for me sailor for six months and many,

I'll wait for me sailor for six months and many,
I'll wait for me sailor till he returns to me.
