One More Pull Boy


It's been a long time since you've seen her, maybe three months or more,
Will she be waiting when we dock boy? Or like others, will she be gone?

And one more pull boy, that'll do boy, soon we'll draw alongside
Hoist her up boy swing her in boy, for the journey's nearly done.

Oh, you're looking mighty smart boy, dressed up in your number ones
y' scrounged a new blade from the purser, to scrape the bum fluff from off your chin.

And one more pull boy, that'll do boy, soon we'll draw alongside
Hoist her up boy, swing her in boy, for the journey's nearly done.

And when we've fixed the bow and stern lines, and you struggle down the gangway,
If she's waiting there, just kiss her, turn her on, give her the smile.

And one more pull boy, that'll do boy, soon we'll draw alongside
Hoist her up boy swing her in boy, for the journey's nearly done.

As we too, we go ashore soon, we get drunk in the pubs and bars,
Crawl back aboard boy, pockets empty, like so many times before.

And one more pull boy, that'll do boy, soon we'll draw alongside
Hoist her up boy swing her in boy, for the journey's nearly done.

For a man may take a wife boy, and that man may take a mistress,
But the sailor has his ship boy, and his mistress is the sea.

And one more pull boy, that'll do boy, soon we'll draw alongside
Hoist her up boy swing her in boy, for the journey's nearly done.

And one more pull boy, that'll do boy, soon we'll draw alongside
Hoist her up boy swing her in boy, for the journey's nearly done.
And the journey now is done.
