William Taylor was a brisk young sailor
F                 Bb      C
Full of heart and full of play
F                Bb    C

Her pretty little fingers long and slender

When the captain did discover

If you rise up in the morning

There she spied young William Taylor

She procured a pair of pistols

On the ground where she did stand
