Lyrics for Song: Good morning, ladies all
Lyrics for Album: The Shanty Book, Part I
1. Now a long good-bye to you, my dear,
With a heave-oh haul.
And a last farewell, and a long farewell.
And good morning, ladies all.
2. For we're outward bound to New York town;
With a heave, etc.
And you'll wave to us till the sun goes down.
And good morning, etc.
3. And when we get to New York town,
Oh it's there we'll drink, and sorrows drown.
4. When we're back once more in London Docks,
All the pretty girls will come in flocks.
5. And Poll, and Bet, and Sue will say:
"Oh it's here comes Jack with his three years' pay."
6. So a long good-bye to you, my dear,
And a last farewell, and a long farewell. |
