Fairport Convention - Sailor's Alphabet текст песни

Исполнитель: Fairport Convention

альбом: Babbacombe Lee Live Again


A's for the anchor that lies at our bow
B's for the bowsprit and the jibs all lie low
C's for the capstan we all run around
D's for the davits to lower the boat down
Merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there's nothing goes wrong
E's for the ensign that at our mast flew
F's for the forecastle, where lives our crew
G's for the galley where the salt junk smells strong
And H is the halyards, we hoist with a song
Merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there's nothing goes wrong
I's for the eyebolts, good for the feet
J's for the jibs hoist, stands by the lead sheet
K's for the knightheads where the petty officer stands
L's for the leeside, hard found by new hands
Merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there's nothing goes wrong
M's for the mainmast, it's stout and it's strong
N's for the needle that never points wrong
O's for the oars of our old jolly boats
And P's for the pinnace that lively do float
Merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there's nothing goes wrong
Q's for the quarterdeck where our officers stand
And R's for the rudder that keeps the ship in command
S is for the stuns'ls that drive her along
T's for the tops'ls, to get there takes long
Merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there's nothing goes wrong
U's for the uniform, mostly worn aft
V's for the vangs running from the main gap
W's for water, we're on a pint and a pound
And X marks the spot where old Stormy was drowned
Merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there's nothing goes wrong
Y's for yardarm, needs a good sailor man
Z is for Zoë, I'm her fancy man
Z's also for zero in the cold winter time
And now we have brought all the letters in rhyme
Merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there's nothing goes wrong
