Sailor's Way |
|
Sailor’s
Way (Joy)
|
|
We've courted gay Peruvian girls
and French girls and Chinese
Spanish girls and Dutch girls
and dainty Japananese
To far Australia and Honolulu
where the Hawaiian maidens play
A different girl in every port
for that's the sailor's way
|
O shining is the north star as
it hangs off our starboard bow
We're homeward bound for
Liverpool town and our hearts are in it now
for we've crossed the line and
the gulf stream, been round by Table Bay
Around the Horn and home again,
for that's the sailor's way
|
|
And it's goodbye to Ali ,
we're off to sea once more
Sailor Jack always comes back to
the gals he do adore
He'll cross the line and the
gulf stream, go round by Table Bay
Around the Horn and home again
for that's the sailor's way
|
And it's goodbye to
Deirdre, we're off to sea once more
Sailor Jack always comes back to
the gals he do adore
He'll cross the line and the
gulf stream, go round by Table Bay
Around the Horn and home again
for that's the sailor's way
|
|
In calm or storm or rain or
shine the shellback doesn't mind
On the ocean swell he works like
hell for the gal he's left behind
He beats it north, he runs far
south, he doesn't get much pay
He's always on a losing game,
for that's the sailor's way
|
We'll get paid off in Liverpool
and go out on a spree
We'll eat and drink and have
some fun and forget the bloody sea
And Jack will go with his sweet
Marie and Pat with his 'Cushla play
But I'll get drunk and turn in
me bunk for that's the sailor's way
|
|
And it's goodbye to
Bonnie, we're off to sea once more
Sailor Jack always comes back to
the gals he do adore
He'll cross the line and the
gulf stream, go round by Table Bay
Around the Horn and home again
for that's the sailor's way
|
And it's goodbye to
Maggie, we're off to sea once more
Sailor Jack always comes back to
the gals he do adore
He'll cross the line and the
gulf stream, go round by Table Bay
Around the Horn and home again
for that's the sailor's way
