歌词
Off To Sea - The Longest Johns
作词:Traditional
作曲:Traditional
When first I landed in Liverpool
I went upon the spree
With money at last
I spent it fast
I got drunk as drunk could be
But When my money was all gone
it was then that I wanted more
But a man must be blind to make up his mind
to go to sea once more
Once more
once more
go to sea once more
But a man must be blind to make up his mind
to go to sea once more
And as I walked down London Road
I met with a Rapper Brown
I asked him if he'd take me in
and he looked at me with a frown
He said: Last time you was paid off
to me you chalked no score
But I'll give you a chance and I'll take your advance
And I'll send you to sea once more
Once more
once more
send you to sea once more
But I'll give you a chance and I'll take your advance
And I'll send you to sea once more
I shipped on board of a whaling barque
we were bound for the Greenland seas
Where cold winds blow through frost and snow
why Jamaica rum would freeze
And worst to bear
I'd no hard weather gear
as I'd spent all my money ashore
It was then that I wished that I was dead
and could go to sea no more
No more
no more
go to sea no more
It was then that I wished that I was dead
and could go to sea no more
Some times we're catching whales
my lads
some times we're catching none
With a twenty-foot oar stuck in your paw
from four o'clock in the morn
And as the shades of night roll on
and you rest on your weary oar
It was then that I wished that I was dead
and could go to sea no more
No more
no more
go to sea no more
It was then that I wished that I was dead
and could go to sea no more
So come all of you hard weather sailing lads
who listen to my song
When you get back from those long trips
I'd have you not go wrong
Take my advice
drink no strong drink
don't you knock on that brothel door
But get married instead and spend all night in bed
and go to sea no more
No more
no more
go to sea no more
But get married instead and spend all night in bed
and go to sea no more
No more
no more
go to sea no more
But get married instead and spend all night in bed
and go to sea no more
