sailor ain't a sailor - fisherman's friends lyrics
my father always told me when i was just a lad
a sailor’s life was very hard, the food was always bad
but now i’ve joined the navy, aboard a man o’ war
but now i find a sailor ain’t a sailor anymore
don’t pull on the rope!
don’t climb up the mast!
if you see a sailin’ ship it might be your last
get your savings ready for another round ashore
a sailor ain’t a sailor, ain’t a sailor anymore
the k!ll!ck of our mess, he says we got it soft
i wasn’t like this in his day when he was up aloft
we like our bunks and sleeping bags, and what’s a hammock for?
a*swingin’ from the deckhead or lying on the floor?
don’t pull on the rope!
don’t climb up the mast!
if you see a sailin’ ship it might be your last
get your savings ready for another round ashore
a sailor ain’t a sailor, ain’t a sailor anymore
they gave us an engine, the first one up and down
with some more technology the engine went around
we know our steam and diesel, but what’s a mainyard for?
a stoker ain’t a stoker with a shovel anymore
don’t pull on the rope!
don’t climb up the mast!
if you see a sailin’ ship it might be your last
get your savings ready for another round ashore
a sailor ain’t a sailor, ain’t a sailor anymore
they gave us an aldis lamp, so we could do it right
they gave us a radio to signal day and night
we know our codes and ciphers, but what’s a semaphore?
a bunting t*ss*r doesn’t toss the bunting anymore
don’t pull on the rope!
don’t climb up the mast!
if you see a sailin’ ship it might be your last
get your savings ready for another round ashore
a sailor ain’t a sailor, ain’t a sailor anymore
two cans of beer a day and that’s your bleedin’ lot
they gave us an extra one because we swabbed the top
so get on your civvy clothes, you’ll find a pub ashore
a sailor’s still a sailor, just like he was before!
don’t pull on the rope!
don’t climb up the mast!
if you see a sailin’ ship it might be your last
get your savings ready for another round ashore
a sailor ain’t a sailor, ain’t a sailor anymore
don’t pull on the rope!
don’t climb up the mast!
if you see a sailin’ ship it might be your last
get your savings ready for another round ashore
a sailor ain’t a sailor, ain’t a sailor anymore
