lirik lagu ewan maccoll - the handsome cabin boy

Loading...

it’s of a pretty female as you may understand
her mind being bent for rambling into some foreign land
she dressed herself in sailor’s clothes or so it does appear
and she hired with a captain to serve him for a year

the captain’s wife she being on board, she seemed in great joy
to think her husband had engaged such a handsome cabin boy
and now and then she slipped him a kiss, and she would have liked to toy
but it was the captain found out the secret of the handsome cabin boy

her cheeks they were like roses and her hair all in a curl
the sailors often smiled and said, he looks just like a girl
but eating of the captain’s biscuit her colour did destroy
and the waist did swell of pretty nell, the handsome cabin boy

it was in the bay of biscay our gallant ship did plough
one night among the sailors was a fearful flurryin’ row
they tumbled from their hammocks for their sleep it did destroy
and they swore about the groaning of the handsome cabin boy

“oh doctor dear, oh doctor, ” the cabin boy did cry
“me time has come, i am undone and i shall surely die.”
the doctor came a~running and smiling at the fun
to think a sailor lad should have a daughter or a son

the sailors when they saw the joke, they all did stand and stare
the child belong to none of them, they solemnly did swear
and the captain’s wife she says to him, “my dear i wish you joy
for it’s either you or i betrayed the handsome cabin boy.”
so each man took his drop of rum and he drunk success to trade
and likewise to the cabin boy who was neither man nor maid
it’s hoping the wars don’t rise again, us sailors to destroy
and here’s hoping for a jolly lot more like the handsome cabin boy
