I am a young maiden, my story is sad
For once, I was carefree and in love with a lad
He courted me sweetly, by night and by day
But now he has left me and gone far away
Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing
I'd follow the vessel my true love sail in
In the bell top rigging, I would there build my nest
And let out my wings to his broad golden chest
He sailed over the ocean, his fortune to seek
I missed his caresses and his kiss on my cheek
Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing
I'd follow the vessel my true love sail in
In the bell top rigging, I would there build my nest
And let out my wings to his broad golden chest
Then he offered to marry and to stay by my side
Then there in the morning he sailed with the tide
I am a young maiden, my story is sad
Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing
I'd follow the vessel my true love sail in
In the bell top rigging, I would there build my nest
And let out my wings to his broad golden chest
