FWhat ails you my daughter dear
Fyour eyes are so dim
Fhave you had any sore sickness
For yet been sleeping with a man
FI have not had any sore sickness
Fbut I know what's ailing me
FI thinking of my own true lovFe
Fhe plows the raging sFea
Fhe plows the raging sFea
Fbe he a loDmrd or a dFuke or a kGnight
For a man of weaGlth of faFme
For is he one of my sailor laFds
Fcome tell me now his naFme
Fhe is no loDmrd or a dFuke or kGnight
For a man of weaGlth and faFme
Fhe is one of your sailor laFds
Fand john barbour is his naFme
Fnow if JDmohn Barbour Fis his nGame
Fa lowly saiGlor man is hFe
Fand if John Barbor is his naFme
Fthen hanged he will bFe
Fthan hanged he will bFe
Fthe king he cDmalls his Fsailors Gall
Fby one by tGwo by thrFee
FJohn Barbour was the first he calFled
Fbut the last came was hFe
Fwhen he cDmame a trFippin doGwn
Fhe was clotGhed in all in wFhite
Fhis hair were like the roses rFed
Fand his teeth were ivory brFite
Fhe paid tDmheir wages witFh a sGmile
Fwhen John BarGbour he did sFee
Fif i was a woman if I were a maFn
Fthen bedfellows we would bFe
Fwill you maDmrry my dauFghter JaGne
Fand take heGr by the hFand
Fwill you come and dine with mFe
Ftake charge of all my laFnd
FI will maDmrry your daugFhter JaGne
Fand I'll takGe her by the hFand
FI will come and dine with yFou
Fbut to hell with all your lanFds
Fif you can giDmve her onFe gold piGece
Fthen I can givGe her thFree
Ffor I am bold John BarbFour
Fand I plow the raging Fsea
FI plow the raging sFea
FI plow the raging sFea
