  1. Carolina and Her Young Sailor Bold (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    His cheeks were as red as the roses,
    His hair was as black as the jet,
    Young Carolina watched his departure
    And stepped round and young William she met,
    She says "I am a nobleman's daughter
    possessed of ten thousand in gold,
    I'll forsake both my father and mother
    and wed with a young sailor bold.
    Says William "Young lady remember
    your parents you are bound to mind
    For on sailors there is no dependence
    they leave their true lovers behind,
    My advice stay at home with your
    parents and do by them what your told
    And never leave anyone tempt you
    to wed with a young sailor bold.
