Sailor Man's Port in a Storm (Words and music by Tom Lewis).

Chorus and first stanza (shanty)

All hands to the pumps!      (shanty man)
Well then tell us a story!    (sailor chorus)
All hands to the pumps!      (shanty man)
Well then sing us a song!    (chorus)
All hands to the pumps!      (shanty man)
And, I'll sing of the girls,      (")
They're a sailor man's port in a storm!    (sailors and shanty man in unison).

Now I've been in trouble the most of me life
and I've been a filanderer since I was born!
Before I had curls
I found out that the girls
were a sailor man's port in a storm!

Chorus

There's black girls there's white girls
there's thin girls there's bright girls
there's girls of all sizes all shape and all form !
Free girls or hired
they all make you tired !
They're a sailor man's port in a storm!

Chorus

Through lonely night watches you're dreaming of girls
whether beating the channel or rounding the horn!
 Married or single
they make your heart tingle
They're a sailor man's port in a storm!

Chorus
