Who called her his dear.
She`s dressed in silks and satins now,
She cuts a gallant show,
Finest of the ladies
Down Canadee-i-o.
6. Come, all you fair and tender girls,
Wheresoever you may be,
I`d have you to follow your own true love
Whene`er he goes to sea.
For if the sailors prove false to you,
Well, the captain, he might prove true.
You`ll see the honor I have gained
