A Sailor ain't a Sailor | |
Autor: Tom Lewis | Wykonawca : Lewis Tom |
M' father often told me, when I was just a lad, | |
A sailor's life was very hard, the food was always bad, | |
But now I've joined the navy, I'm on board a man-o-war, | |
And now I find a sailor ain't a sailor any more! | |
Ref.: | |
Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast, | |
If you see a sailing-ship it might be your last, | |
Get your 'civvies ready for another run-ashore, | |
A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor any more! | |
The 'killick' of our mess, he says we've had it soft, | |
It wasn't like this in his day, when he was up aloft, | |
We like our bunks and sleeping-bags but what's a hammock for? | |
Swinging from the deckhead or lying on the floor? | |
They gave us an engine that first went up and down, | |
Then with more technology the engine went around, | |
We're good with steam and diesel but what's a mainyard for? | |
A stoker ain't a stoker with a shovel any more! | |
They gave us an Aldiss Lamp, we can do it right, | |
They gave us a radio, we signal day and night, | |
We know our codes and ciphers but what's a 'sema' for? | |
A 'bunting-tosser' doesn't toss the bunting any more! | |
They gave us a radar set to pierce the fog and gloom, | |
So now the lookout's sitting in a tiny darkened room, | |
Loran does navigation the Sonar says how deep, | |
The Jimmy's 3 sheets to the wind, the Skipper's fast asleep. | |
Two cans of beer a day, that's your bleeding lot! | |
But now we gets an extra one because they stopped The Tot, | |
So, we'll put on our civvy-clothes and find a pub ashore, | |
A sailor's still a sailor, just like he was before! | |
