lirik lagu jerry garcia & david grisman - the handsome cabin boy
it’s of a pretty female as you may understand
her mind being bent for ramblin’ all unto 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’d slip him a kiss, and she would ‘a liked to toy
it was the captain found out the secret of the handsome cabin boy
her lips they were like roses, her hair always all in a curl
the sailors often smiled and said, “she looks just like a girl”
but eating of the captain’s biscuit, her color did destroy
and the waist did swell of pretty nell, the handsome cabin boy
it was in the bay of biscayne, our gallant ship did plough
one night among the sailors was a fearful flurry and row
they tumbled from their hammocks, for sleep it did destroy
they swore about the groaning of the handsome cabin boy
“oh doctor, dear, oh doctor”, the cabin boy did cry
“my time has come, i am undone, surely i must die”
the doctor cam a~runnin’, and smilin’ 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 belonged to none of them, they solemnly did swear
the captain’s wife she says to him “my dear i wish you joy
for it’s either you or me’s betrayed the handsome cabin boy”
so each man took his tote of rum, and he drunk success to trade
and likewise to the cabin boy, who was neither man nor maid
“here’s hoping wars don’t rise again, our sailors to destroy
and here’s hoping for a jolly lot more like the handsome cabin boy”
