I am Bulge on return on shore, look at this my portion
A golden silver in great stall on time I've been on the ocean
I'd come back to find my love, to see if it is me she'll have
Nancy, will you be my wife, wed with a tarry sailor?
Oh, Nancy, turn around with a frown, a brother, a man of high renown
Do you think I'd marry you? No, not I, wed with a tarry sailor
I am Bulge on return on shore, look at this my portion
A golden silver in great stall on time I've been on the ocean
Joan reached into his jacket folds, bringing out two fists of gold
Nancy, will you marry me now, wed with a tarry sailor?
Oh, Nancy, turn around with a smile, with a sight of the money
With a sight of the money, with a sight of the money
With a heart of gold, I was only joking all of the time
To be sure I'd have no sailor
I am Bulge on return on shore, look at this my portion
A golden silver in great stall on time I've been on the ocean
With a sight of the money, with a sight of the money
With a sight of the money, with a sight of the money


I'm a jerk, likewise I jest, I can see
It's the cash that you love best, but rather the girl
And some true heart will never get your sailor
So John, he took his gold elsewhere
And he found himself a maiden fair
Which made poor Nancy to turn around
For the day she refused her sailor
I am Bulge on return on shore, look at this my portion

I'm sure, look at this, my portion
I've gold and silver in great stall
Long time I've been on the ocean
I've gold and silver in great stall
Long time I've been on the ocean
I've gold and silver in great stall
