'''FAIR SALLY LOV'D A BONNY SEAMAN.''' English, Air (3/4 time). E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Fair Sally lov'd a boony seaman" is a mid-18th century song, printed in John Simpson's '''Calliope, or English Harmony, vol. 1''' (1746), John Sadler's '''The Muses Delight''' (1754), and other period songsters and on song-sheets. The words were the product of poet John Hoadly (1711-1776), a bishop's son who also became a clergyman. He also wrote songs, sometimes in partnership with his friend Maurice Green, who supplied the music (as he did for "Fair Sally..."). Hoadly's first stanza goes:
<blockquote>
''Fair Sally lov'd a bonny Seaman;''<br>
''With Tears she sent him out to roam,''<br>
''Young Thomas lov'd no other Woman,''<br>
''But left his Heart with her at home.''<br>
''She view'd the Sea from off the Hill,''<br>
''And while she turn'd the Spinning-Wheel,''<br>
''Sung of her bonny Seaman.''<br>
