Seite 19 - Free from breath of slander, Beloved by all my crew — A really popular commander. But now my kindly crew rebel, My daughter to a tar is partial, Sir Joseph storms, and, sad to tell, He threatens a court martial! Fair moon, to thee I sing, Bright regent of the heavens, Say, why is everything Either at sixes or at sevens?
Seite 11 - Now landsmen all, whoever you may be, If you want to rise to the top of the tree, If your soul isn't fettered to an office stool, Be careful to be guided by this golden rule— Stick close to your desks and never go to sea, And you all may be Rulers of the Queen's Navee!
Seite 23 - Rend with songs the air above, For the union of a maiden With the man who owns her love ! Jos. Never mind the why and wherefore, Love can level ranks, and therefore I admit the jurisdiction ; Ably have you played your part ; You have carried firm conviction To my hesitating heart.
Seite 22 - Rich Oriental rugs, luxurious sofa pillows, And everything that isn't old, from Gillow's. And on the other, a dark dingy room In some back street, with stuffy children crying, Where organs yell, and clacking housewives fume, And clothes are hanging out all day a-drying ; With one cracked looking-glass to see your face in! And dinner served up in a pudding basin...
Seite 8 - Heavy the sorrow that bows the head When love is alive and hope is dead! Sad is the hour when sets the sun — Dark is the night to earth's poor daughters. When to the ark the wearied one Flies from the empty waste of waters! Heavy the sorrow that bows the head When love is alive and hope is dead!
Seite 27 - He is an Englishman! For he himself has said it, And it's greatly to his credit, That he is an Englishman ! All.
Seite 4 - I've snuff and tobaccy, and excellent jacky, I've scissors, and watches, and knives; I've ribbons and laces to set off the faces Of pretty young sweethearts and wives.
Seite 12 - Joseph: That's a pity: all sailors should dance hornpipes. I will teach you one this evening, after dinner. Now tell me — don't be afraid — how does your captain treat you, eh?
Seite 9 - Oh, I have thought of this night and day. But fear not, father. I have a heart, and therefore I love; but I am your daughter, and therefore I am proud. Though I carry my love with me to the tomb, he shall never, never know it.
Seite 9 - We sail, we sail the ocean blue, And our saucy ship's a beauty. We're sober, sober men and true And attentive to our duty.
