12 Jul 23 - 03:43 PM (#4176686) Subject: ADD: Gloucester Boys (Dan Aguiar) From: Joe Offer Hi, John - how's this? Gloucester Boys Copyright Dan Aguiar 1973 GLOUCESTER BOYS (Dan Aguiar) I love Gloucester and I miss her, And I’m longing to return. All the blue skies rise above her. For her shores I’ll always yearn. CHORUS: Gloucester boys they sail right handy. All ashore they don’t feel right. Gloucester girls are fair and handy. Gloucester girls stay up all night. Nantucket’s boys they had their whalin’ That was many years ago. Gloucester’s ships are still out sailin’. Every day they’re on the go. Chorus: I love a girl I call my Nancy. She’s the one I long to see. Not too plain and not too fancy. In her arms I long to be. Chorus: I drink wine and I drink brandy. To the maids I’ll drink my fill. Nancy’s lips are sweet as candy. I want her now and always will. Chorus: In the trawlers or the catboats. Gloucester boys they stand alone. You can name it and if she floats. Gloucester boys can sail her home.
