[Verse 1]
Willie Taylor and his youthful lover
Full of mirth and loyalty
They were going to the church to be married
He was pressed and sent to sea
She dressed in sailor's clothing
Boarded on a man o' war
For to find the life it'd stolen
And the man she did adore
[Chorus]
Dally-dilly-dum, dilly dum-dum-dum-dum
Dally-dilly-dum, dilly dum-dum-day
Dally-dilly-dum, dilly dum-dum-dum-dum
Dally-dilly-dum, dilly dum-dum-day
[Verse 2]
Said the captain to this fair maid
"What misfortune brought you here?"
"I'm in search of my true lover
Whom you pressed on the other year."
"If he is your true lover
He has proved to you untrue
He is married to another
Left you here alone to rue."
