Hi Brad, I would prefere not to post to e-mail because others here would miss on content that may be of interest to them. SO saying that, I've been looking for words to the Sailor's Hornpipe for a few decades & have only heard & seen one verse that's found in Doeflinger's "Shantymen & Shantyboys". If you've heard/seen more please do tell. Here's what I've seen/heard.
We'll have another drink 'fore the boat shoves off
We'll have another drink 'fore the boat shoves off
We'll go to Mother Rackets' & we'll pawn our monkey jackets
And we'll have another drink 'fore the boat shoves off
Here are a couple of verses I wrote because I couldn't stand to sing such a great song for such a short time.
We'll go see Iron Peg & get our mainsheets hauled (2x)
Before we go to sea we'll take a girl upon our knee
And we'll go see Iron Peg & get our mainsheets hauled
We've been on the beach just a day to long (2x)
From everyone we get a curse cause there's no money in our purse
And we've been on the beach just a day too long
After a week at sea we'll be longing for a port(2x)
We'll dream of feather beds & wish that we were dead
After a week at sea we'll be longing for a port
