Verse 1
Bm D A Bm
When I was in service in Rosemary Lane,
Bm D A E
I won the good will of my master and dame,
Bm D A Bm
'Til a sailor came there one night for to lay,
Bm D A E
And that was the beginning of my misery.
Verse 2
He asked for a lantern to light him to bed,
And likewise a silk handkerchief to tie up his head,
To tie up his head as sailors will do,
And he said, "My pretty Polly, won't you come too?"
Verse 3
Now this maid be young and foolish, she thought it no harm,
To lie into bed for to keep herself warm,
And what was done there I will never disclose,
But I wish that short night had been seven long years.
Verse 4
Next morning this sailor so early arose,
And into my apron three guineas did throw,
Saying, "This I will give, and more I will do,
If you'll be my Polly wherever I go."
Verse 5
And if its a boy, he will fight for the king,
And if its a girl, she will wear a gold ring,
Wear a gold ring and a dress all aflame,
And remember my service in Rosemary Lane.
Verse 1
When I was in service in Rosemary Lane,
I won the good will of my master and dame,
'Til a sailor came there one night for to lay,
And that was the beginning of my misery.
(Hope this is good!)
