while searching for a tune for We'll Go To Sea No More I found a song by that title in MUSIC FOR THE NATION: American Sheet Music
Lyrics Attributed to J. Haskin: arrangmement W. C. Peters
WE'LL GO TO SEA NO MORE
Oh, brightly shines the bonnie sun Upon the Isle of May, And blythly comes the morning tide Into St. Andrews bay; Then up gudeman,the breeze is fair; And up my braw bairns three; There's gode in yonder bonnie boat That sails so well the sea! When Tempests leave the stormy coasts When billows leave ther shore; When torrents climb up Ber-wick Law, we'll go to sea no more. We'll go to sea no more, No More, no More. when torrents climb up Ber-wick Law, we'll go to sea no more.
I never lik'd the landsman's life; the earth is aye the same; give me the ocean for my dow'rt My vessel for my hame, give me the field, that no man plough; The farm that pays no fee; Give me the bonny life we lead, sae gladly o'er the sea. When sails hang flapping on the mast, as thro the waves we roar When, in a calm we're tempest toss'd We'll go to sea no more, we'll go to sea no more, No more, No more When in a calm we're tempest toss'd We'll go to sea no more.
