The Roving Kind (The Pirate Ship) |
As I cruised out one eve-e-ning upon a night’s career |
I spied a lofty clipper ship and to her I did steer |
I heisted out my sig-a-nals which she so quickly knew |
And when she saw my bunting fly she imme-diately hove to-woo-woo |
(She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets) |
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind) |
I took her for some fish and chips and treated her so fine |
And hardly did I realize she was the rovin' kind |
I kissed her lips, I missed her lips and found to my surprise |
She was nothin' but a pirate ship rigged up in a dis-guy-eye-ise |
(She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-eye-eye) |
And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets |
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind) |
So, come all ye good sailor men who sail the wintry sea |
And come, all ye apprentice lads, a warnin' take from me |
Beware of lofty clipper ships, they’ll be the ruin of you |
For 'twas there she made me walk the plank and pushed me under, too-ooh-ooh |
(She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets) |
She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind |
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl but) |
One of the rovin' kind (yo-ho!) |
