Lyrics The Last Shanty

Well me father often told me when I was just a lad

A sailor's life is very hard the food is always bad

But now I've joined the navy

I'm aboard a man-o-war

And now I've found a sailor ain't a sailor any more

Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast

If you see a sailing ship it might be your last

Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore

A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore

Well the killick of our mess he says we had it soft

It wasn't like that in his day when we were up aloft

We like our bunks and sleeping bags

But what's a hammock for

Swinging from the deckhead or lying on the floor

Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast

If you see a sailing ship it might be your last

Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore

A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore

They gave us an engine that first went up and down

Then with more technology the engine went around

We know our steam and diesels but what's a mainyard for

A stoker ain't a stoker with a shovel anymore

Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast

If you see a sailing ship it might be your last

Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore

A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore

They gave us an Aldiss Lamp so we could do it right

They gave us a radio we signaled day and night

We know our codes and cyphers but what's a sema for

A bunting-tosser doesn't toss the bunting anymore

Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast

If you see a sailing ship it might be your last

Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore

A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore, hey

Two cans of beer a day and that's your bleeding lot

And now we've got an extra one because they stopped The Tot

So we'll put on our civvy-clothes find a pub ashore

A sailor's just a sailor just like he was before

Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast

If you see a sailing ship it might be your last

Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore

A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore

Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast

If you see a sailing ship it might be your last

Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore

A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore

A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore, hey
