Jack Was Every Inch A Sailor 歌詞
Jack Was Every Inch A Sailor - Burl Ives (伯爾·艾夫斯)/Ralph Hunt Singers
Written by：Public Domain
Jack was ev'ry inch a sailor
Five and twenty years a whaler
Jack was ev'ry inch a sailor
He was born upon the bright blue sea
Jack was ev'ry inch a sailor
Five and twenty years a whaler
Jack was ev'ry inch a sailor
He was born upon the bright blue sea
Now 'twas twenty five or thirty years
Since Jack first saw the light
He came into this world of woe
One dark and stormy night
He was born on board his father's ship
When she was lying to
'Bout twenty five or thirty miles
Southeast of Baccalieu
Jack was ev'ry inch a sailor
Five and twenty years a whaler
Jack was ev'ry inch a sailor
He was born upon the bright blue sea
When Jack grew up to be a man
He went to Labrador
He fished in Indian harbour
Where his father fished before
On his returning in the fog
He met a heavy gale
And Jack was swept into the sea
And swallowed by a whale
Jack was ev'ry inch a sailor
Five and twenty years a whaler
Jack was ev'ry inch a sailor
He was born upon the bright blue sea
The whale went straight for Baffin's bay
About ninety knots an hour
And every time he'd blow a spray
He'd send it in a shower
O now says Jack unto himself
I must see what he's about
He caught the whale all by the tail
And turned him inside out
Jack was ev'ry inch a sailor
Five and twenty years a whaler
Jack was ev'ry inch a sailor
He was born upon the bright blue sea
