| All you sea barren men, you’re bound to sail again
|
| Far away from your mooring down in Portsmouth
|
| With your mast strung high and wavin' goodbye
|
| To the lassies you left on shore
|
| I’ve a fine strong crew and I tell 'em what to do
|
| I’m the captain of the ship The Bonny Lady
|
| She my joy and my pride and she’s twenty meters wide
|
| And I call her the ship The Bonny Lady
|
| So haul down the riggin' for we’re bound to sail away
|
| Across the ragin' ocean and we’re sailin' out today
|
| And if we do return you’re bound to hear us say
|
| We’ll be going to sea once more
|
| I’ve a fine strong crew and I tell 'em what to do
|
| I’m the captain of the ship The Bonny Lady
|
| She my joy and my pride and she’s twenty meters wide
|
| And I call her the ship The Bonny Lady
|
| Well my shipmates and me, we sail from sea to sea
|
| With the wind a-whistlin' through the sails
|
| Though the crew gets no rest, they think that I’m the best
|
| Cause I bailed them one and all out of jail
|
| I’ve a fine strong crew and I tell 'em what to do
|
| I’m the captain of the ship The Bonny Lady
|
| She my joy and my pride and she’s twenty meters wide
|
| And I call her the ship The Bonny Lady
|
| We’ve a vast haul of rum, a cargo we will run
|
| From along the far off shores of Haiti
|
| With the brisk salt air just blowin' through me hair
|
| At the wheel of the ship The Bonny Lady
|
| I’ve a fine strong crew and I tell 'em what to do
|
| I’m the captain of the ship The Bonny Lady
|
| She my joy and my pride and she’s twenty meters wide
|
| And I call her the ship The Bonny Lady
|
| I’ve a fine strong crew and I tell 'em what to do
|
| I’m the captain of the ship The Bonny Lady
|
| She my joy and my pride and she’s twenty meters wide
|
| And I call her the ship The Bonny Lady |
