The Last Shanty 歌詞
The Last Shanty - Nathan Evans
Lyrics by：Tom Lewis
Composed by：Tom Lewis
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
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
Well the killick 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
Don't haul on the rope don't climb up thе mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your civvies rеady for another run-ashore
A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore
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
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
And 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
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
