When my Hero in court appears
Language:
English
When my Hero in court appears,
And stands arraign'd for his life;
Then think of poor Polly's tears;
For ah! Poor Polly's his wife.
Like the sailor he holds up his hand,
Distrest on the dashing wave.
To die a dry death at land
Is a bad a wat'ry grave:
And alas, poor Polly!
Alack and a-well a day!
Before I was in love,
Oh, ev'ry month was May.
Input by Ferdinando Albeggiani
