The Handsome Cabin Boy

It's of a pretty female as you may understand

Her mind been bent for rambling into some foreign land

She dressed herself in sailor's clothes, or so it does appear

And she hired with a captain to serve him for a year


Her cheeks they were like roses and her hair all in a curl

The sailors often smiled and said he looked just like a girl

But eating all the captain's biscuit her colour did destroy

And the waist did swell of pretty Nell, the handsome cabin boy


It was in the Bay of Biscay her gallant ship did plow

One night among the sailors was a fearful floorin' row

They tumbled from their hammocks, for their sleep it did destroy


And they swarmed about the groanin' of the handsome cabin boy


Oh doctor, dear. Oh doctor, the cabin boy did cry

The time has come -- I am undone, and I will surely die

The doctor come a'runnin' and a'smilin' at their fun --

To think a sailor lad should have a daughter or a son


The sailors when they saw the joke, they all did stand and stare

The child belonged to none of them, they solemnly did swear

And the captain's wife she says to him, My dear I wish you joy

For 'tis either you or me's betrayed the handsome cabin boy
