《Spanish Ladies》歌词

[00:02:40] Farewell an' adieu to you fair Spanish ladies,

[00:02:40] Farewell an' adieu to you ladies of Spain,

[00:02:40] For we've received orders for to sail for old England,

[00:02:40] An' hope very shortly to see you again.

[00:02:40] We'll rant an' we'll roar, like true British sailors,

[00:02:40] We'll rant an' we'll rave across the salt seas,

[00:02:40] 'Till we strike soundings in the Channel of Old England,

[00:02:40] From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-four leagues.

[00:02:40] We hove our ship to, with the wind at sou'west, boys,

[00:02:40] We hove our ship to for to take soundings clear.

[00:02:40] In fifty-five fathoms with a fine sandy bottom,

[00:02:40] We filled our maintops'l, up Channel did steer.

[00:02:40] The first land we made was a point called the Deadman,

[00:02:40] Next Ramshead off Plymouth, Start, Portland, and Wight.

[00:02:40] We sailed then by Beachie, by Fairlee and Dungeyness,

[00:02:40] Then bore straight away for the South Foreland Light.

[00:02:40] Now the signal was made for the Grand Fleet to anchor,

[00:02:40] We clewed up our tops'ls, stuck out tacks and sheets.

[00:02:40] We stood by our stoppers, we brailed in our spankers,

[00:02:40] And anchored ahead of the noblest of fleets.

[00:02:40] Let every man here drink up his full bumper,

[00:02:40] Let every man here drink up his full bowl,

[00:02:40] And let us be jolly and drown melancholy,

[00:02:40] Drink a health to each jovial an' true-hearted soul.
