III. Here comes one jolly sailor, Just arrived from shore,
We'll spend our money like jolly, jolly joes, And then we'll work for more.
We'll all around, around and around, And if we meet a pretty little girl We'll call her to the shore.
—Northants (Rev. W. D. Sweeting).
IV. Here comes four jolly sailor boys, Just lately come ashore;
They spend their days in many merry ways, As they have done before.
Round, round the ring we go,
Round, round the ring,
And he that choose his bonny, bonny lass
Must kiss her on the floor.
—Raunds (Northants Notes a?id Queries, i. 232).
V. Here come three jolly, jolly, jolly boys As lately come from shore ; We will spend our time on a moonlight night As we have done before.
We will have a round, a round, a round, We will have a round, a round, a round; Let the lad that delights in a bonny, bonny lass, Let him kiss her on the ground.
—Earls Heaton, Yorks. (Herbert Hardy).
VI. Here comes three jolly, jolly sailors, Just arrived on shore;
We'll spend our money like merry, merry men, And then we'll work for more.
Hurrah for the round, round ring,
Hurrah for the round, round ring;
And he that loves a pretty, pretty girl,
Let him call her from the ring.
—Shipley, Horsham (Notes and Queries, 8th series, i. 210, Miss Busk). |
