SPANISH LADIES (from Stan Hugill)

Farewell and adieu to you Spanish ladies,
Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain,
For we've received orders to sail for Old England
and we hope very soon for to see you again.

CHORUS:
We'll rant and we'll road like true British sailors,
We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt seas,
Till we strike soundings in the Channel of Old England,
From Ushant to Scilly is 34 leagues.

We have our ship to with the wind at sou'west, boys.
We have our ship to for to take soundings clear,
In 55 fathoms with a fine sandy bottom,
We filled our main tops'l, up Channel did steer.

The first land we made was a point called the Deadman,
Next Ramshead of Plymouth, Start, Portland and Wight.
We sailed them by Beachie, by Fairlee, by Dungness,
Then bore straight away for the South Foreland Light.

Now, the signal was made for the Grand Fleet to anchor.
We clewed up our tops'ls, stuck out tacks and sheets,
We stood by our stoppers, we brailed in our spankers,
And anchored ahead of the noblest of fleets.

Let every man here drink up his full bumper,
Let every man here drink up his full bowl.
And let us be jolly and drown melancholy,
Drink a health to each jovial and true-hearted soul.

from the late Stan Hugill's "Songs of the Sea."

All the best,
Dan
