SPANISH LADIES Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com Fare well and a–dieu to you fair Spanish ladies Fare well and a-dieu to you ladies of Spain For we’ve received orders to sail to old England And hope very shortly to see you a-gain CHORUS We’ll rant and we’ll rave across the salt seas Till we strike soundings in the channel of old England From here to home is so many leagues
We hove our ship to for to take soundings clear In fifty-five fathoms with a fine sandy bottom We filled maintops’le up channel did steer…..CHORUS
Next Ramshead off Plymouth, Start, Portland and Wight We sailed then by Beachie by Fairlee and Dover Then bore straight away for South Foreland Light….CHORUS Now the signal was made for the Grand Fleet to anchor We clewed up our tops’ls stuck out tacks and sheets We stood by our stoppers, we brailed in our spankers And anchored ahead of the noblest of fleets……CHORUS
Let every man here drink up his full bowl And let us be jolly and drown melancholy Drink a health to each jovial and true hearted soul……CHORUS Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com |
