Lyrics:
My 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!
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?
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!
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!
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!
They gave us an Aldis 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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
