You can hear a sample of this song Spanish Ladies
Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain For we’ve received orders to sail to New Bedford Nantucket to the Vinyard is just a few leagues
We’ll rant and we’ll rave across the salt sea Till we strike soundings in the harbor of New Bedford 1 Nantucket to home is just a few leagues We hove our ship to for to take soundings clear In fifty five fathoms with a fine sandy bottom We filled main tops’l up channel did steer CHORUS
Martha’s Vinyard Woods Hole then down Buzzards Bay We sailed then by Marion Mattapoisett and Fairhaven Then bore straight away for New Bedford hooray…..CHORUS
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 And drink a health to each jovial and true hearted soul…..CHORUS Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com |
