Alex in Tokyo Lyr Req: British Tars (10) Lyr Req: British Tars 27 Sep 04

G'day all,

I'm looking for the lyrics to a song called "British Tars," which is mentioned in Patrick O'brian's "The Far Side of the World" It also appears in the movie "Master and Commander," based on the book.

The first two lines, which are all that appear in movie or book, are:

Come all you thoughtless young men, a warning take by me
And never leave your happy homes to sail the raging sea.

Or is this, in fact the whole song?

Thanks in advance,
Alex.
