| First Lines | A Gallant Youth at Gravesend liv'd, / a Seaman neither rich nor poor; |
| Refrain | Turn to thy Love and take a kiss, / this Gold about thy wrist i'll tye; / And always when thou look'st on this, / think on thy loving Lanlady. | And if thou wilt with patience stay, / till I from Sea return again; / For every kiss thou lendest me, / I will repay thee ten times ten. |
