Hi I am looking for the title of a song that I have the lyrics for but cannot find the song anywhere on the net as it is written.
A general walking down fair London Street One of his old comrades he chanced for to meet. Good morning but a shipmate you are welcome home. All in the right season I think you have come.
Can't you remember when you once courted a maid And boy your long hat she is going to be wed, For tomorrow at Bristol there is a wedding to be And I am invited for to give her away.
Jack thanked his old comrade with all of his heart To think how well he had acted his part. I will go and get a license tonight if I can And tomorrow at Bristol I will wait till she comes.
Jack went and got license that very same night Started off the next morning as soon as it was light. At the churchyard in Bristol he awaited a while When he saw the bride a coming he started to smile.
Jack stepped up unto her taking her by the hand You are going to be married as I understand, But if ever you gets married you are going to be mine For I did come here love to box your design.
Then some girl fell distracted not knowing what to do. I'm ruined I'm ruined forever she cried. But the sailor is my true love and I'll be his bride. Not a tailor in this country will I marry beside.
The young tailor fell distracted not knowing what to do. I'm ruined I'm ruined forever he cried. This young tailor fell distracted not knowing what to do. Went to church to get married turned home like a fool.
Come all ye young tailors wherever you may be. Don't trust these young girls of any degree. But all of god's sweethearts marry them while you may. Yes those blooming tarpaulins will steal them away.
