Willie Taylor Lyrics by Borealis Rex

Dawn ’Til Done

2020

Willie Taylor and his youthful lover full of mirth and loyalty
They were going to the church to be married he was pressed and sent to sea
She dressed herself up like a sailor on her breast she wore a star
Her lovely fingers long and slender she gave them all just a smear of tar
On the ship there be a skirmish, she was one amongst the rest
A silver button flew off hеr jacket and there appеared her Snow White breast
Said the captain to this fair maid what misfortune has put you here?
“I’m in search of my true lover who you pressed on the other year”
If you’re in search of hour true lover tell me what might be his name?
Willie Taylor is what they call him but Fitzgerald is his name
If you’ll get up tomorrow morning early as the break of day
There you’ll spy you’re Willie Taylor walking along with a lady gay
She got up the very next morning early as the break of day
There she spied her Willie Taylor walking along with a lady gay
She pulled out a brace of pistols that she had at her command
And there she shot her Willie Taylor with his bride at his right hand
