A Sailor's Life

A sailor's life, it is a merry life
He robs young girls of their heart's delight
Leaving them behind to weep and mourn
They never know when they will return
Well, here's four and twenty all in a row
My true love he makes the finest show
He's proper, tall, genteel withal
And if I don't have him, I'll have none at all
Oh, father build for me a bonny boat
So that on that wide ocean I may float
And every Queen's ship that we pass by
There I'll inquire for my sailor boy
They had not sailed long upon the deep
When a Queen's ship they chanced to meet
You sailors all, pray tell me true
Does my sweet William sail among your crew?
Oh no, fair maiden, he is not here
For he's been drowned we greatly fear
On yon green island, as we passed it by
There we lost sight of your sailor boy
Well, she wrung her hands and tore her hair
She was like a young girl in great despair
Her little boat against a rock did run
How can I live now my sweet William is gone?

Fair river! in thy bright, clear flow
Of crystal, wandering water,
Thou art an emblem of the glow
Of beauty-the unhidden heart-
The playful maziness of art
In old Alberto's daughter;
But when within thy wave she looks-
Which glistens then, and trembles-
Why, then, the prettiest of brooks
Her worshipper resembles;
For in his heart, as in thy stream,
Her image deeply lies-
His heart which trembles at the beam
Of her soul-searching eyes.

Hoist the mast and lock your chains, Row Row Row.
Link and lock and load your rope, Row Row Row.

On The Rocks

When all the trust has gone
I see it all collapse
this tumble down,
let’s tumble down.
With all the faith removed
And everyone’s crashed
This will, I will
We will tumble down
Grace out the stream,
full like the breeze as we sleep
on the rocks ‘til dawn.
Grace out the stream,
You should have seen her gleaming
Straight on the rocks ‘til dawn.
When all the stars are out
I see it all repair
On the rock
I see repair
Let’s tumble down
Let’s tumble down
Let’s tumble down
Grace out the stream,
You should have seen her gleaming
Straight, on the rocks ‘til dawn.
