Most of the songs I love to sing have at least a line, usually a verse I really love If it should be that your baby's a girl Never you mind if her hair doesn't curl Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes A bomber above her wherever she goes... Sleep is a river, goes on forever... And for your boatman, choose old John o' Dreams Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg Ye're a hopeless shell of a man on a peg And you'll have to be put w' yer bowl ta beg Johnny I hardly knew ya So come all ye young sea-farin' men, And listen to me song When you go off on them long trips, I'd have ye's do no wrong Take my advice, drink no strong drink, Don't go sleepin' with no whores But get married lads, and have all night in, and go to sea no more... Getting out my guitar right now.... Nancy
