The Halliard - Rambling Sailor lyrics

I am a sailor blythe and gay That's rambled for promotion I've laid the French and the Spaniards low Some miles across the ocean I've travelled England and Ireland too I've left behind both ship and crew I've travelled my country through and through Oh to be a rambling sailor I've sailed the seas fought battles too Long time I've ploughed the ocean Fought for my queen and country too Won medals and a promotion But now a [birder?] shipmate said you I've left behind both ship and crew Travelled the country through and through And to be a rambling sailor And if you wanted to know my name Then my name it is young Johnson I have a mission from the queen To court all the girls that is handsome With my false false heart and flatteried tongue I'll court them all but I'll marry marry none I'll court them all both old and young And I'll still be a rambling sailor And when I came to Greenwich town There I saw la**es in plenty I always steeped up to them To court them for their money With my false false heart and flatteried tongue I'll court them all but I'll marry marry none I'll court them all both old and young And I'll still be a rambling sailor
