i'll go list for a sailor - jim moray lyrics
oh list’, oh list’ to my sorrowful lay
and attention give to my song i pray
when you’ve heard it you will say
i’m an unfortunate tailor
for once i was happy as a bird in a tree
my sarah was all and the world to me
now i’m cut out by a son of the sea
and she’s left me here to bewail her
oh my days were honey and my nights were the same
till a man named cobb from the ocean came
with his dark hair and his muscular frame
a captain on board of a whaler
for he spent his money both brisk and free
with his tales of the land, his songs of the sea
he stole me sarah’s heart from me
and blighted the hopes of a tailor
oh, why did sarah serve me so?
no more will i stitch, and no more will i sew
my needle and my thread to the winds i’ll throw
and i’ll go and list for a sailor
oh once i was with her, in came cobb
“avast” he cried, “you blubbery swab
if you don’t knock off i’ll scuttle your kn*b”
and sarah smiled at the sailor
so now i’ve crossed the raging sea
for sarah’s proved untrue to me
my heart’s locked up and she’s the key
what a very unfeeling jailor
(oh!)
