Whores and Hounds |
Thougth this time, i’d stay in town |
But now be damned, im outwards bound |
Me money it went, for whores and hounds |
Off to sea once more |
You’d think by now i smarter be, and learnt from past discrepencies |
But here am i, headed back to sea |
Penniless, sick and soare |
One |
Two |
Three |
Four |
Whores and hounds n' navy rum |
They have me broke, they have me numb |
A drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore |
The lassies are my hearts delight, but i can’t pay them every night |
And i must look a sorry sight when begging for it free |
And at the greyhounds guzzling grog, i never picked a winning dog |
A sailors life’s a hard ol' slug whenever he’s on a spree |
For whores and hounds n' navy rum |
They have me broke, they have me numb |
A drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore |
Intermision |
Perhaps it’s time to stop the strife, settle down and find a wife |
But then again i love me life, what ever may insue |
So i’ll not fuss, and I’ll not fret for i got life within me yet |
I’ll get drunk as i can get, thats what we sailors do |
For whores and hounds n' navy rum |
They have me broke, they have me numb |
A drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore |
For whores and hounds n' navy rum |
They have me broke, they have me numb |
A drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore |
Yes i thought this time i’d stay in town but once again i’m seaward bound |
But i’ll be back for whores and hounds, who keep talking out to me |
When i return from sea |
