And that was the beginning of my misery

He called for a candle to light him to bed

Likewise a silk hankerchief to tie up his hair
还要一块丝帕 用来绑住头发
To tie up his hair as sailors will do
就像其他水手绑住头发那样
And third my pretty polly won't you come too

This may be young and foolish she thought it no harm
她年轻又傻气 想着这有什么危险
To lie into bed why to keep herself warm
何不躺进一张让她温暖的床
And what was done there I will never disclose

But I wish that short night had been seven long years

Next morning this sailor so early arose

And into my bra 3 guineas did throw
他把三枚金币 塞进我的内衣
Saying this I will give and more I will do

If you l be my pretty polly wherever I go

And if it a boy he will fight for the king

And if it a girl she will wear a gold ring

Wear a gold ring and a dress all of light
