Lyrics
NO MORE A SAILOR
1.Turn away, turn away from the howling gale, there's sure to be
A harbour safe from a mighty sea, maybe an estuary
I'm too young die on a rolling deck as waves break free
Make haste, make haste our captain cried, for we are lost at sea
Chorus:
No more a sailor, far from shore
No more a sailor, me
2.Cast off, cast off that cargo dear, the wind howls more
Bend your backs you likely lads till your hands grow sore
The yard arm's down, the mizzen's rent, none to procure
And still there is no end in sight as the forties roar
3.Lookout, look out, the main mast's down, cut the rigging clear
The anchor's gone, we've got rags for sails, we can not steer
Our captain's dead, the bosun drowned, we got naught to fear
And I can't swim, for I've lost a leg in the winding gear
4.Pull away, pull away from our sinking ship is the sailor's cry
No more a deck to walk upon, or a cabin dry
On a tiny raft in a monstrous sea, I'm afraid we'll die
Upon the rocks as we round the Horn, bid a last goodbye
