《Handsome Cabin Boy》歌词

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

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

[00:00:19] As you may understand

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

[00:00:28] Unto some foreign land

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:07] A handsome cabin boy

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:56] Her colour did destroy

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

[00:02:05] The handsome cabin boy

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:40] They solemnly did swear

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

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

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

[00:03:57] The handsome cabin boy

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:24] Our sailors to destroy

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

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