Subject: Lyr Req: Nothing To Equal Life On The Sea From: Barry Finn Date: 17 Mar 06 - 07:03 PM Hi All I recorded this from an old Cape Horner George Herbert of West Geelong, Australia back in 79. I'm planning on recording it on a CD but before I do I'm been trying to find out if this is complete or weither there may be another verse or 2 ending it. The title I give is mine, George never said what it was called. Here it is. "There's Nothing To Equal The Life On The Sea" There's Nothing To Equal The Life On The Sea There's nothing to equal the life on the sea To ra la ra, to ra la re The winds on the ocean are blowing so free To ra la ra, O re We've sailed from harbors to harbors to ports The girls are all pretty where ever we are To ra la re, to ra la re, to ra la re, O re In Hamburg last summer, a wonderful place To ra la re, to ra la re I met a young girl with the loviest face To ra la re, O re She stood there all smiling her cheeks rosy red And I wished she was mine as I nodded my head I quickly embraced her she did the same And I said to that maiden, pray what is your name Marie is my name, pray what is yours I see you're a sailor, a brave one of course She went to her father with tears in her eyes Her face was so plaid, sad were her sighs I just met a sailor, I'll love him all my life And if you'll permit me, I will be his wife I sat there & hiccupped there with her dad My cap was on crooked, my breath it was bad Your trade there young fellow, what is your trade And if I'll permit you, will you love this young maid From Cardiff I come from, I don't have a sou But then I could borrow a dollar from you For the life of a sailor is damned on to me Nothing will equal your daughter to me Thanks everyone Barry |
