John Masefield - Port Of Many ShipsJohn Masefield - Port Of Many Ships
Work rating: Medium


It`s a sunny pleasant anchorage is Kingdom Come Where the crew is always layin` aft with double-tots o` rum `N` there`s dancin` and there`s fiddlin` of ev`ry kind o` sort It`s a fine place for sailormen is that there port. `N` I wish -- I wish as I was there. The winds is never nothin` more than jest light airs `N` no one gets belayin` pinned, `n` no-one never swears Yer free to loaf an` laze around, yer pipe atween yer lips Lollin` on the fo`c`s`le, sonny, lookin` at the ships. `N` I wish -- I wish as I was there. For ridin` in the anchorage the ships of all the world Have got one anchor down `n` all sails furled; All the sunken hookers `n` the crews as took `n` died They lays there merry, sonny, swingin` with the tide. `N` I wish -- I wish as I was there. Drowned old wooden hookers green wi` drippin` wrack Ships as never fetched to port, as never came back Swingin` to the blushin` tide, dippin` to the swell, `N` the crews all singin`, sonny, beatin` on the bell. `N` I wish -- I wish as I was there.
