the sailor's alphabet - david jones lyrics
[verse 1]
a for the anchor that swings at our bow
b for the bowsprit to the wild seas to plow
c for the capstan we all walk around
d for the davitts that lower our boat down
[chorus]
so merry, so merry are we
there’s none so blithe as a sailor at sea
sing high, sing low, as we sail along
give the old ship the breeze, and there’s nothing goes wrong
[verse 2]
e for the ensign that flies at our peak
f for the forecastle where the good sailors sleep
g for the galley where the cooks hop around
h for the hallyards we haul up and down
[chorus]
so merry, so merry are we
there’s none so blithe as a sailor at sea
sing high, sing low, as we sail along
give the old ship the breeze, and there’s nothing goes wrong
[verse 3]
i for the irons the ship is made of
j for the jib, which moves her along
k for the keel at the bottom of the ship
l for the lanyards that never do slip
[chorus]
so merry, so merry are we
there’s none so blithe as a sailor at sea
sing high, sing low, as we sail along
give the old ship the breeze, and there’s nothing goes wrong
[verse 4]
m for the mainmast so neat and so strong
n for the needle, which never go wrong
o for the oars that row our small boat
p for the pumps that keep her afloat
[chorus]
so merry, so merry are we
there’s none so blithe as a sailor at sea
sing high, sing low, as we sail along
give the old ship the breeze, and there’s nothing goes wrong
[verse 5]
q for the quarter deck where officers stand
r for the rudder that steers her to land
s for the sailors who move her along
t for the topsails we hoist with a song
[chorus]
so merry, so merry are we
there’s none so blithe as a sailor at sea
sing high, sing low, as we sail along
give the old ship the breeze, and there’s nothing goes wrong
[verse 6]
u for the union, which we all adore
v for the vane that flies at our fore
w for the wheel where we stand our time
and the other three letters, you can’t bring in rhyme
[chorus]
so merry, so merry are we
there’s none so blithe as a sailor at sea
sing high, sing low, as we sail along
give the old ship the breeze, and there’s nothing goes wrong
