The Apprentice Boy Lyrics – John Doyle
Singer: John Doyle
Title: The Apprentice Boy
When first I went to sea apprentice bound
I sailed the sole sea all round and round
I had not sailed a voyage but one
When I fell in love with my charming Anne
I went to my captain, old stout and bold
And unto him, my story told
Said “I love this lass as I love my life
What would I do if she was my wife?”
Well the captain said “You are a foolish boy”
“For to court a girl that you’ll ne’er enjoy
For she will have sweethearts when you’re at sea
And she’ll be married when you get freed.”
“Well I don’t know, but I think I’ll try
Maybe she’ll fancy an apprеntice boy
And maybe she’ll altеr her mind for me
And we’ll be married when I am free”
Well I bought her rings and I bought her clothes
And things to prove to her heart that loved
She accepted them all and she was none shy
And she vowed she’d wait for her apprentice boy
When my voyage is ended and my work is o’er
I’ll turn my back to sweet Erin’s shore
In my native country, my love I’ll enjoy
And good luck will shine on the apprentice boy
