the press gang (roud 662) - ewan maccoll lyrics

Loading...

as i walked down on london street
a press gang did i chance to meet
they asked me if i’d join the fleet
on board of a man*o*war, boys

come brother shipmates tell me true
what kind of treatment they give you
that i may know before i go
on board of a man*o*war, boys

when i got there to my surprise
all that they told me was shocking lies
there was a row and a jolly old row
on board of a man*o*war, boys

the first thing they done they took me in hand
they lashed me with a tar of a strand
they flogged me till i could not stand
on board of a man*o*war, boys

now i was married and me wife’s namе was grace
’twas she that led mе to shocking disgrace
it’s oft i’d curse her ugly face
on board of a man*o*war, boys

when next i get may foot on shore
to see them london girls once more
i’ll never go to sea no more
on board of a man*o*war, boys
