Testo Sailor's Alphabet - Fairport Convention
Testo della canzone Sailor's Alphabet (Fairport Convention), tratta dall'album Babbacome Lee
A's for the anchor that lies at our bow
B's for the bowsprit and the jib-sail line low
C's for the capstan we all run around
And D's for the davits to moor the boat down
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away haw when the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there's nothin' goes wrong
E's for the ensign that at our mast flew
F's for the fo'c'sle where lives our wild crew
G's for the galley where the soap jugs felt strong
And H for the halliards we hoist with a song
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away haw when the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there's nothin' goes wrong
I's for the eyeballs, no good for the feet
J's for the jibs, boys, stand by the lee sheet
K's for the light head where our petty officer stands
And L's for the lee side hawed found by new hands
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away haw when the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there's nothin' 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 boat
And P's for the pinnace which lively do float
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away haw when the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there's nothin' goes wrong
Q's for the quarterdeck where our officer stands
R's for the rudder that keeps the ship in command
S is for the stuns'l that drive her along
And T's for the tops'l, to get there takes long
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away haw when the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there's nothin' goes wrong
U's for the uniform mostly worn aft
V's for the vans running from the main gaff
W's for water, we're on a pint and a pound
And X marks the spot where old Stormy was drowned
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away haw when the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there's nothin' goes wrong
Y's for the yardarm, needs a good sailor man
Z is for Zoe and I'm her fancy man
Zed's also for zero in the cold winter time
And now we have brought all the letters in rhyme
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away haw when the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there's nothin' goes wrong
