Traditional O the weary cutters and O the weary sea O the weary cutters have taken my laddie from me They've pressed him far away foreign With Nelson beyond the salt sea O the lousy cutters and O the weary sea O the lousy cutters have stolen my laddie from me They always come in the night They never come in the day They come at night and steal the laddies away O the weary cutters and O the weary sea O the weary cutters have taken my laddie from me I'll give the cutter a guinea I'll give the cutter no more I'll give him a guinea to steal my laddie ashore
