Ashley Hutchings - I'll Go And 'List For A Sailor

Kishore Kumar Hits — Ashley Hutchings - I'll Go And 'List For A Sailor lyrics

Artist: Ashley Hutchings

album: Morris On

Oh list! Oh list! To my sorrowful lay,
Attention give to my song I pray,
And when you've heard it all you'll say
That I'm "an unfortunate tailor."
I once was as happy as a bird on a tree,
My Sarah was all the world to me,
Now I'm cut out by a son of the sea,
She's left me here to bewail her.
Oh how could Sarah serve me so?
No more will I stitch, no more will I sew,
My thimble and my needle to the winds I'll throw,
And go and 'list for a sailor.
My days were honey and my nights were the same,
Till a man called Cobb from the ocean came,
With his long black beard and his muscular frame--
A captain on board of a whaler.
He spent his money both frank and free,
With his tales of the land and his songs of the sea,
He stole my Sarah's heart from me,
And blighted the hopes of the tailor.
Well, once I was with her when in came Cobb,
Avast, he cried, you blubbery swab!
If you don't knock off I'll scuttle your nob,
And Sarah smil'd at the sailor.
So now I'll cross the raging sea,
My Sarah's proved untrue to me,
My hearts lock'd up and she's the key--
What a very unfeeling jailor.
So now kind friends I'll bid you adieu,
No more me woes to trouble you,
I'll travel the world all thro' and thro'--
And go and 'list for a sailor.
