Well, it's all of a fair and handsome girl

She's all in her tender years

She fell in love with a sailor boy,

It's true she loved him well

For to go off to sea with him

Like she did not know how

She longed to see that seaport town

Of Canadee-i-o



(Your color will be blue)

(Your color will be blue)



So she bargained with a young sailor boy

Sold for a piece of gold

Straightaway then he led her down

All down into the hold

Sayin',
