colm r. mcguinness - the last shanty lyrics
[verse 1 _ colm r. mcguinness]
well me father often told me when i was just a lad
a sailor’s life is very hard, the food is always bad
but now i’ve joined the navy, i’m aboard a man_o_war
and now i’ve found a sailor ain’t a sailor any more
[chorus]
don’t haul on the rope, don’t climb up the mast
if you see a sailing ship it might be your last
just get your civvies ready for another run_ashore
a sailor ain’t a sailor, ain’t a sailor anymore
[verse 2 _ seth staton watkins]
well the k!ll!ck of our mess he says we had it soft
it wasn’t like that in his day when we were up aloft
we like our bunks and sleeping bags, but what’s a hammock for?
swinging from the deckhead, or lying on the floor?
[chorus]
don’t haul on the rope, don’t climb up the mast
if you see a sailing ship it might be your last
just get your civvies ready for another run_ashore
a sailor ain’t a sailor, ain’t a sailor anymore
[verse 3 _ colm]
they gave us an engine that first went up and down
then with more technology the engine went around
we know our steam and diesels but what’s a mainyard for?
a stoker ain’t a stoker with a shovel anymore
[chorus]
don’t haul on the rope, don’t climb up the mast
if you see a sailing ship it might be your last
just get your civvies ready for another run_ashore
a sailor ain’t a sailor, ain’t a sailor anymore
[verse 4 _ seth]
two cans of beer a day and that’s your bleeding lot
and now we’ve got an extra one because they stopped the tot
so we’ll put on our civvy_clothes find a pub ashore
a sailor’s just a sailor just like he was before
[chorus _ seth & both]
don’t haul on the rope, don’t climb up the mast
if you see a sailing ship it might be your last
just get your civvies ready for another run_ashore
a sailor ain’t a sailor, ain’t a sailor anymore
don’t haul on the rope, don’t climb up the mast
if you see a sailing ship it might be your last
just get your civvies ready for another run_ashore
a sailor ain’t a sailor, ain’t a sailor anymore
