From: *#1 PEASANT*
Sailor Man's Port in a Storm (Words and music by Tom Lewis). Chorus and first stanza (shanty) All hands to the pumps! (shanty man)
Well then tell us a story! (sailor chorus)
All hands to the pumps! (shanty man)
Well then sing us a song! (chorus)
All hands to the pumps! (shanty man)
And, I'll sing of the girls, (")
They're a sailor man's port in a storm! (sailors and shanty man in unison). Now I've been in trouble the most of me life
and I've been a filanderer since I was born!
Before I had curls
I found out that the girls
were a sailor man's port in a storm! Chorus There's black girls there's white girls
there's thin girls there's bright girls
there's girls of all sizes all shape and all form !
Free girls or hired
they all make you tired !
They're a sailor man's port in a storm! Chorus Through lonely night watches you're dreaming of girls
whether beating the channel or rounding the horn!
Married or single
they make your heart tingle
They're a sailor man's port in a storm! Chorus
