BZN - Sailor's Delight lyrics

Sailor's delight (J. Veerman/J. Keizer/J. Tuijp) A dirty old shellback called Willy And his friend little tarney McCoone Sailed all the oceans, but now they're back in town They joined in with gay dog McClover A retired fishing man, but a swa*k A thorough-paced scoudrel, who just threw his weight about Together the kings of the backstreets Together they live just for fun Until the end of their days A sailor's delight every night by the harbour Where girls hang around with the men of the sea Where old fishing men may tell their tall stories Craving for gin and together they sing A sailor's delight every night by the harbour Where girls hang around with the men of the sea Where old fishing men may tell their tall stories Craving for gin and together they sing Froth-crested waves on the oceans They will bring them all over the world To live in clover with all the girls in town They grew up with rabble and rousers A blind-alley life on the sea They would end on the gallows, the price of the lives they lived Together the kings of the backstreets Together they live just for fun Until the end of their days A sailor's delight every night by the harbour Where girls hang around with the men of the sea Where old fishing men may tell their tall stories Craving for gin and together they sing A sailor's delight every night by the harbour Where girls hang around with the men of the sea Where old fishing men may tell their tall stories Craving for gin and together they sing
