Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Shanty - One More Pull
Hi Guys, thanks for those words, same chorus, completely different words to the verses I was after. This is what I remember:-
First verse It's been three years since you saw her boy something about will she still be waiting by the dockside
another verse You're looking mighty fine boy dressed up in your number ones cadged a razor from the purser scraped the bum fluff from your chin
another verse starts about if she's there on the dock side & goes on to turn, give us a wave
then there's another verse about the rest of the crew doing the usual things in pubs ( their women weren't waiting i assume)
last verse Well a man may have a wife boy and a man may have a mistress but a sailors wife's his ship boy and his mistress is the sea
Sorry should have posted these scraps in the first place. Want to do this version if we can piece it together, faithfull woman stuff is a bit off the Doxy theme but I'm a romantic at heart! Chears Doxy
