Handsome Cabin Boy - Ewan MacColl/A.L. Lloyd[00:00:00]

It's of a pretty female[00:00:14]

As you may understand[00:00:19]

Her mind being bent for rambling[00:00:23]

Unto some foreign land[00:00:28]

She dressed herself in sailor's clothes[00:00:32]

Or so it does appear[00:00:37]

And she hired with a captain[00:00:41]

To serve him for a year[00:00:46]

The captain's wife she being on board[00:00:54]

She seemed in great joy[00:00:58]

To think the captain had engaged[00:01:03]

A handsome cabin boy[00:01:07]

That now and then she'd slip him a kiss[00:01:12]

And she'd have liked to toy[00:01:16]

But it was the captain found out the secret[00:01:20]

Of the handsome cabin boy[00:01:25]

Her cheeks they were like roses[00:01:33]

And her hair rolled in a curl[00:01:37]

The sailors often smiled and said[00:01:42]

He looked just like a girl[00:01:47]

But eating of the captain's biscuit[00:01:52]

Her colour did destroy[00:01:56]

And the waist did swell of pretty Nell[00:01:59]

The handsome cabin boy[00:02:05]

It was in the bay of Biscay[00:02:12]

Our gallant ship did plow[00:02:16]

One night among the sailors[00:02:21]

Was a fearful flurry and row[00:02:24]

They tumbled from their hammocks[00:02:30]

For their sleep it did destroy[00:02:33]

And they sworn about the groaning[00:02:37]

Of the handsome cabin boy[00:02:42]

Oh doctor dear oh doctor[00:02:50]

The cabin boy did cry[00:02:55]

My time has come I am undone[00:02:59]

And I will surely die[00:03:03]

The doctor come a-runnin[00:03:08]

And a-smilin' at the fun[00:03:12]

To think a sailor lad should have[00:03:16]

A daughter or a son[00:03:21]

The sailors when they saw the joke[00:03:27]

They all did stand and stare[00:03:31]

The child belonged to none of them[00:03:36]

They solemnly did swear[00:03:40]

And the captain's wife she says to him[00:03:44]

My dear I wish you joy[00:03:48]

For 'tis either you or me's betrayed[00:03:52]

The handsome cabin boy[00:03:57]

So sailors take your tot of rum[00:04:03]

And drink success to trade[00:04:07]

And likewise to the cabin boy[00:04:12]

That was neither man nor maid[00:04:15]

Here's hoping the wars don't rise again[00:04:20]

Our sailors to destroy[00:04:24]

And here's hoping for a jolly lot more[00:04:28]

And the handsome cabin boy[00:04:33]
