Subject: RE: Lyr Add: The Steadfast Sailor From: EBarnacle1 Date: 29 Aug 03 - 09:04 AM It's pretty close to finalized now. the song's been inflicted upon the public a few times and a friend has added it to his repertoire: THE STEADFAST SAILOR Lyrics: Eric Russell August 10, 2003 Melody: The Frozen Logger 1) As I sat down one evening Inside a small cafẻ, A forty year old waitress To me these words did say: 2)"I see you are a sailor And not just a common bum; "Cause nobody but a sailor Adds coffee to his rum. 3) "My lover was a sailor, There's none like him today— If you'd pour rum upon it He'd eat a tarry backstay. 4) He never shaved the whiskers From off of his manly hide— He'd comb them out with gill rakers And display them with pride. 5) "He never trimmed the nails From the ends of his calloused thumbs— He used them both for marling spikes, Also to stir his rum. [I use a rotary "thumbs down" at this point.] 6) "My lover came to see me On a cold and stormy day; He greeted me with a fond embrace That broke three vertebrae. 7) "He kissed me as he left me So hard he cracked my chin; I could not speak to tell him He'd left behind his oilskins. 8) "I saw my lover leaving, Going bravely out to sea; He sailed out before the wind And gave no thought to me. 9) "The North wind tried to wreck him; The seas ran tow'ring foam; But when his staysails did blow out, He never ran for home. 10) It pick'd him off the poopdeck And carried him o'er the boom; As the gale kept rising, It blew him past the moon. 11) "And so I lost my lover-- To this cafẻ I come And here I wait for someone Who adds coffee his rum." |

I hope you enjoy it. |
