Kishore Kumar Hits — The Albion Band - I'LL GO AND 'LIST FOR A SAILOR lyrics

Artist: The Albion Band

album: ALBION BAND VINTAGE II ON THE ROAD 1972-1980

Oh list, oh list to me sorrowful lay
And attention give to me song, I pray
When you've heard it all you'll say
That I'm an unfortunate tailor
For once I was happy as a bird in a tree
My Sarah was all in the world to me
Now I'm cut out by a son of the sea
And she's left me here to bewail her
Why did Sarah serve me so?
No more will I stitch and no more will I sew
Me thimble and me needle to the winds I'll throw
And I'll go and 'list for a sailor
♪
Now me days were honey and me 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
And he stole me Sarah's heart from me
And blighted the hopes of a 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 knob!"
And Sarah smiled at the sailor
♪
So now I'll cross the raging sea
For Sarah's proved untrue to me
Me heart's locked up and she's the key
What a very unfeeling gaoler
And so now, kind friends, I'll bid you adieu
No more me woes shall trouble you
I'll travel the country through and through
And I'll go and 'list for a sailor
