[00:08.88]Willie Taylor was a brisk young sailor
[00:12.27]He who courted a lady fair
[00:16.06]Bells were ringing, sailors singing
[00:20.25]As to church they did repair
[00:24.64]Thirty couples were at their wedding
[00:29.08]All were dressed in rich array
[00:32.17]But instead of William being married
[00:36.55]He was pressed and sent away
[00:41.36]She dressed herself in man's apparel
[00:47.09]Man's apparel she put on
[00:50.18]And she's gone to find her true love William
[00:54.56]For to find him she is gone
[01:01.93]Then the captain stepped up to her
[01:09.21]Asking her "What's brought you here?"
[01:12.50]"Oh, I have come to seek my true love
[01:16.79]Who I've lately loved so dear."
[01:21.41]"Well if you've come to seek your true love,
[01:25.35]Tell me what his name may be."
[01:28.99]"Oh, his name, it's William Taylor.
[01:32.93]From the Irish ranks came he."
[01:39.60]"You rise early tomorrow morning,
[01:43.55]You rise up at break of day,
[01:46.88]There you'll see your true love William
[01:51.27]Walking with some lady gay."
[02:10.85]So she rose up the very next morning
[02:14.94]She rose up at break of day
[02:18.48]And there she saw her true love William
[02:22.69]Walking with some lady gay
[02:27.18]Sword and pistol she then ordered
[02:31.13]To be brought at her command
[02:34.47]And she shot her true love William Taylor
[02:38.85]With his bride on his right hand
[02:45.14]Now if all young folks in Kells or Dublin
[02:49.42]Were server the same as she served he
[02:53.38]Then young girls would all be undone
[02:57.87]How very scarce young men would be
