《Rounding the Horn》歌词

[00:00:00] Rounding The Horn - A. L. Lloyd

[00:00:00] The gallant frigate

[00:00:02] Amphitrite she lay in Plymouth Sound

[00:00:08] Blue Peter at the foremast head for

[00:00:12] She was outward bound

[00:00:15] We were waiting there for orders

[00:00:19] To send us far from home

[00:00:23] Our orders came for Rio

[00:00:27] And thence around Cape Horn

[00:00:31] While beating off Magellan

[00:00:34] Strait it blew exceeding hard

[00:00:38] Whilst shortening sail two gallant tars

[00:00:42] Fell from the topsail yard

[00:00:46] By angry seas the ropes we threw from

[00:00:50] Their poor hands were torn

[00:00:53] We were forced to leave them to

[00:00:56] The sharks that prowl around Cape Horn

[00:01:01] When we got round the Horn

[00:01:04] My boys we had some glorious days

[00:01:09] And very soon our killick

[00:01:12] Dropped in Valparaiso Bay

[00:01:16] The pretty girls came downing from us

[00:01:20] I solemnly declare

[00:01:23] They are far before the Plynouth girls

[00:01:27] With their long and curly hair

[00:01:31] There were to Valparaiso plynouth

[00:01:34] I'm farewell for a while

[00:01:38] Likewise to aII the Spanish girls

[00:01:42] All on the coast of Chile

[00:01:45] And if ever l live to be paid off

[00:01:49] L'll sit and sing this song

[00:01:53] God bless those pretty Spanish girls

[00:01:57] We left around Cape Horn
