The Dockyard Gate
Peter Bellamy, Fair Annie, Fellside FECD 187 (recorded 1980-81). From the singing of Sam Larner.

Come list all you seamen unto me while these few words to you I'd write
Just to let you know how the game go on when you are out of sight
Just to let you know how the lads on shore go sporting with your wives
While you are out on the raging sea a-venturing of your sweet lives

Now, last farewell to her true love when she then began for to cry
She pulled her handkerchief from her breast for to wipe her weeping eye
Saying, my true love is gone to sea, what hard it is my case
But plenty more here on the shore, so another one will take his place

So you go down to the dockyard gate and wait till I come out
For this very day we'll spend his half-pay, we'll drink both ale and stout

Now the day being spent in sweet content and his half-pay was no more
Nevermind, my true love, she did say, for me husband is working hard for more
Perhaps it is his watch on deck all shivering in the cold
Perhaps it is his watch below, so our joy he can behold

So you go down to the dockyard gate and wait till I come out
For this very day we'll spend his half-pay, we'll drink both ale and stout

Yes, you go down to the dockyard gate and wait till I come out
For this very day we'll spend his half-pay, we'll drink both ale and stout
