Off to sea once more

Ballade




Ecouter

When first I landed in Liverpool
I went upon the spree.
While money lasts I spend it fast,
Got drunk as drunk could be.
But before my money was all gone,
On liquor and the whores,
I made up my mind that I was inclined
To go to sea no more.

No more, no more !
To go to sea no more.
I made up my mind that I was inclined
To go to sea no more.


As I was walking down the street
I met with Angeline.
She said "Come home with me, my lad,
And we'll have a cracking time."
But when I awoke, it was no joke,
I found I was all alone.
My silver watch and my money too,
And my whole bloody gear was gone.

Was gone, was gone!
My whole bloody gear was gone.
When I awoke, it was no joke
For my whole bloody year was gone.


As I was walking down the street
I met big Rapper Brown.
I asked him if he would take me in,
And he looked at me with a frown.
He said: "Last time you were paid off.
With me you chalked-up no score.
But I'll take your advance and I'll give you a chance
To go to sea once more."

Once more, once more !
To go to sea once more.
I take your advance and I'll give you a chance
To go to sea once more.
