Caroline and her Young Sailor Bold seems the winner for me.

CAROLINE AND HER YOUNG SAILOR BOLD

It's of a rich nobleman's daughter, uncommonly handsome we hear,
Her father possessed a large fortune of thirty five thousands a year,
He had only one daughter, Caroline her name, so we're told,
One day from her drawing room window she admired a young sailor bold.

His cheeks they appeared like roses, his hair it was black as jet,
Young Caroline watched his departure, walked round until William she met,
She said, I'm a nobleman's daughter possessed of ten thousands in gold,
I forsake both my father and mother to wed with a young sailor bold.

Said William, young lady remember your parents you are bound to mind,
sailors there is no depending when their true love they've left far behind,
Be advised, stay at home with your parents and do by them as you are told,
And never let anyone tempt you to wed with a young sailor bold.

She said, there's no-one shall persuade me one moment to alter my mind,
I'll ship and proceed with my true love, he never shall leave me behind,
She dressed like a gallant young sailor, forsook both her parents and gold,
Four years and a half on the salt sea she ploughed with her young sailor bold.

Three times, with her love she was shipwrecked and always
Proved constant and true, Her duty she did like a sailor aloft in a jacket so blue,
Her father long wept and lamented, from his eyes tears in torrents long rolled,
Till at last they arrived safe in England, Caroline and her young sailor bold.

Then Caroline went to her father all dressed in a jacket so blue,
He received her and momently fainted when first she appeared in his view,
She said, dear father, forgive me, deprive me forever of gold, grant me my request,
I'm contented to wed with my young sailor bold.

With all troubles at sea far behind them and a love that would last throughout life.
Her fond parents joy and their blessing Caroline soon became William's wife,
They were wedded and Caroline's fortune was five hundred thousands in gold,
And now they live happy together, Caroline and her young sailor bold.
