[00:07.78] Well me father often told me when I was just a lad
[00:10.97] A sailor's life is very hard, the food is always bad
[00:13.89] But now I've joined the navy, I'm aboard a man-o-war
[00:17.35] And now I've found a sailor ain't a sailor any more
[00:20.53] Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
[00:23.98] And if you see a sailing ship it might be your last
[00:26.64] Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore
[00:30.09] A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore
[00:33.28] Well the killick of our mess he says we had it soft
[00:36.47] It wasn't like that in his day when we were up aloft
[00:39.66] We like our bunks and sleeping bags, but what's a hammock for?
[00:42.84] Swinging from the deckhead, or lying on the floor?
[00:46.03] Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
[00:49.48] And if you see a sailing ship it might be your last
[00:52.41] Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore
[00:55.60] A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore
[00:58.79] They gave us an engine that first went up and down
[01:02.24] And then with more technology the engine went around
[01:05.15] We know our steam and diesels but what's a mainyard for?
[01:08.61] A stoker ain't a stoker with a shovel anymore
[01:11.53] Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
[01:14.72] And if you see a sailing ship it might be your last
[01:17.91] Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore
[01:21.36] A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore
[01:24.55] Two cans of beer a day and that's your bleeding lot
[01:27.74] And now we've got an extra one because they stopped The Tot
[01:30.93] So we'll put on our civvy-clothes find a pub ashore
[01:34.11] A sailor's just a sailor just like he was before
[01:37.30] Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
[01:40.75] And if you see a sailing ship it might be your last
[01:43.41] Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore
[01:46.86] A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore
[01:50.05] Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
[01:53.50] And if you see a sailing ship it might be your last
[01:56.42] Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore
[01:59.88] A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore
