The Captain's Daughter

I'm a poor boy as you know

But I love the Captain's daughter so

If I begged her would she go?

Or would she tell me no, no, no, no, no

Daddy is a sailor man

Your fresh from the farm land

He said when you ask my hand

For me to tell you no, no, no, no, no

Your daddy's gone away to sea

You're as lovely as can be

Come and go away with me

Oh, don't you tell me no, no, no, no, no

My daddy owns a clipper ship

He brings me pearls on every trip

Pink champagne for me to sip

And you're the poorest boy I know, know, know, know, know

I've got no pearls to give you

I've got two arms and heart that's true

We could start with a dream or two

Oh won't you say you'll go, go

The poor boy came from the farm land

She was the daughter of a sailor man

The Captain says 'When he begs your hand

You better tell him no, no, no, no, no'

She said 'Papa don't you worry please

The poor begs me upon his knees

I'd never leave this life of ease'

And with the poor boy goes

The captain kissed her and he went to sea

The poor boy said 'Go away with me

You're lonely and you shouldn't be

Oh, don't you tell me no, no, no, no, no'

My daddy owns a clipper ship

He brings me pearls on every trip

Pink champagne for me to sip

And you're the poorest boy I know, know, know, know, know

Your daddy's given you a home

But you've got nobody when he is gone

I'll go and leave you all alone

If the answer is still no, no
