Subject: Lyr Add: THE FEMALE RAMBLING SAILOR From: Anika Date: 21 Sep 99 - 01:50 PM Here are the lyrics to The Female Rambling Sailor; A wonderfully talented female trio from Ontario Canada, called "Three Sheets To The Wind" (great name, eh?) do a super rendition of this traditional tune. THE FEMALE RAMBLING SAILOR Come all you maids near and far and listen to my ditty. 'Twas near Gravesend there lived a maid. She was both neat and pretty. Her true love he was pressed away and drowned in some foreign sea, Which caused this fair maid to say, "I'll be a rambling sailor." In her jacket blue and trousers white just like a sailor neat and tight, The sea it was the heart's delight of the female rambling sailor. From stem to stern she freely goes. She braves all dangers, fears no foes, But soon you shall hear of the overthrow of the female rambling sailor. No, never did her courage fail through stormy wind and wintry gale, But this fair maid did prevail, this female rambling sailor. From stem to stern, she freely went where oft times she'd been many. Her hand did slip and down she fell, she calmly bade this world farewell. When her lily-white breast in view, it came it appeared to be a female's frame. Rebecca Young it was the name of the female rambling sailor. May the willows wave around her grave and round the laurels planted. May the roses sweet bloom at the feet of the one who was undaunted. So come all ye maids both near and far and listen to my story. Her body's anchored in the deep. Let's hope her soul's in glory. On the river Thames she's known real well. No sailor there could her excel. One tear left as the last farewell to the female rambling sailor. |
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Female Rambling Sailor From: Susan-Marie Date: 21 Sep 99 - 12:53 PM Follansb - since song titles can change with time and region, it would help to have a line or two, maybe from the chorus? I know the tune to a female sailor song whose chorus ends with "for to hear the cannons thunder and the music so grand" - is that the one? |
