Back To The Sea Shanties.

Goldfinch60



Back we went,

Back to the Sea Shanty group

And they were still there,

The Drunken Sailor

Who we still didn’t know,

Didn’t know what to do with him.

The man was there

And we had to Blow Him Down.

We sailed over the sea,

Over the sea to Skye.

We even went to Australia,

But it was only South Australia.

We found the Spanish Ladies

And brought them back,

Back to England.

But then we had to go,

And told Johnny to Leave Her.

 

Back we went,

Back to the Sea Shanty Group

And had a wonderful time.

            'Haul, me boys, haul.' I've always enjoyed (but not sung)sea shanties. Swinging through the rigging (broken kneck or worse for sure) also unavailable, so the best way to be a seafarin' man from my armchair is a shanty, or better, under the shower with all the windows closed, keeping the spray and the shanty to meself...
            Great you went back, Andy.

              Andy
