the stowes - the good ship kangaroo كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
once i was a waiting man that lived at home at ease
now i am a mariner that plows the angry seas
oh, i always loved seafaring life, i bid my love adieu
i shipped as steward and cook, me boys, on board the kangaroo

[chorus]
oh, i never thought she would prove false or either prove untrue
as we sailed away through milford bay aboard the kangaroo

[verse 2]
“think of me, oh think of me,” she mournfully did say
“when you are in a foreign land and i am far away
take this lucky thrupenny bit, it’ll make you bear in mind
that loving, trusting, faithful heart you left in tears bеhind.”

[verse 3]
“cheer up, cheer up, my own true love, don’t weep so bitterly.”
shе sobbed, she sighed, she choked, she cried and could not say goodbye
“oh i won’t be gone for very long ’tis but a month or two
when i will return again, of course, i’ll visit you.”

[chorus]
oh, i never thought she would prove false or either prove untrue
as we sailed away through milford bay aboard the kangaroo
[instrumental break]

[verse 4]
our ship was a homeward bound from many’s the foreign shore
many’s the foreign present unto me love i bore
i brought tortoises from tenerife and toys from timbuktu
a china rat, and a bengal cat, and a bombay c_ckatoo

[verse 5]
paid off i sought her dwelling on a street above the town
where an ancient dame upon the line was hanging out her gown
“where is my love?”, “she’s vanished, sir, about six months ago
with a smart young man that drives the van for chaplin, son and co.”

[chorus]
oh, i never thought she would prove false or either prove untrue
as we sailed away through milford bay aboard the kangaroo

[instrumental break]

[verse 6]
here’s a health to dreams of married life to soap, to suds and blue
heart’s true love and patent starch and washing soda too
i’ll go unto some foreign shore, no longer can i stay
on some china hottentot i’ll throw me life away
[verse 7]
my love she is no foolish girl, her age it is two score
my love she is no spinster, she’s been married twice before
oh, i cannot say it was her wealth that stole me heart away
she’s a boiler in the laundry for one and nine a day

[chorus]
oh, i never thought she would prove false or either prove untrue
as we sailed away through milford bay aboard the kangaroo
oh, i never thought she would prove false or either prove untrue
as we sailed away through milford bay aboard the kangaroo

[instrumental outro]
