Gibb Sahib Origins: Spanish Ladies (87* d) RE: Origins: Spanish Ladies 14 Oct 23


Sorry if you already have this one...

“The Man-of-War’s Man.” [chapter] Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine 11.60 (Jan. 1822).


Song verses smatter the narrative. On page 20, there is

//
Farewell, and adieu to your grand Spanish ladies,
Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain,
For we've received orders to sail for Old England,
But we hope in short time for to see you again.
//

After a few other fragments, there's this, which may belong to the same song

//
Then we'll drink and be jolly, and drown melancholy,
Our spirits to cherish, our hopes, and our lives,
And we'll pay all our debts with a flying foretop-sail,
And so bid adieu to our sweethearts and wives.
//
