tom lewis - the east indiaman lyrics
illy, ally, illy, ally, oh, cheerily, boys, cheerily
bend your backs and give a pull, cheerily i say (i say)
with a long pull and a strong pull we haul away together, boys
belay every inch of that, belay, boys, belay
many a times i’ve sung this song
when the wind’s been blowing half a gale
hoistin’ up a yard, or shakin’ at a reef, or haulin’ on a sheet of sail
i shipped on board of a man_of_war, in the merchant service too
i fought for me king and me country while i sailed on the ocean blue
illy, ally, illy, ally, oh, cheerily, boys, cheerily
bend your backs and give a pull, cheerily i say (i say)
with a long pull and a strong pull we haul away together, boys
belay every inch of that, belay, boys, belay
on a bright may day we sailed away, on a big east india ship
though it’s many, many years ago, me boys, i’ll not forget that trip
we said goodbye to portsmouth quay, to susan, kate and jane
and we hadn’t been a sailing but an hour or more when we joined in the old refrain
illy, ally, illy, ally, oh, cheerily, boys, cheerily
bend your backs and give a pull, cheerily i say (i say)
with a long pull and a strong pull we haul away together, boys
belay every inch of that, belay, boys, belay
now i’m back from the sea again
i’m gonna coil up me ropes on the shore, have a bit of a spell with me long haired gal
she’s the one i do adore, but there’s no doubt
should a war break out, and seamen be required again
i’ll join with me crew, me duty for to do, and we’ll join in the old refrain
illy, ally, illy, ally, oh, cheerily, boys, cheerily
bend your backs and give a pull, cheerily i say (i say)
with a long pull and a strong pull we haul away together, boys
belay every inch of that, belay, boys, belay
