Detritus - Sailor's Farewell lyrics

All aboard that's coming Farewell to them that ain't It's time for me to see the world It's getting late So I'll say farewell to Bristol and goodbye to Nailsea And we'll let this Brummy come aboard 'coz he's good company SO why don't thee take a risk and come along with me? It may be rough but at the end we all will merry be. "Skipper, where we going?" "A better place" sez He You're just goin' nowhere fast And so was we The time'll come yer cider jar's as empty as yer head And we'll be out at open sea with better things ahead You don't believe in paradise after all we've said Maybe I'll lose me breakfast, if I stay I'll lose me head All hands around the captain Time to earn yer keep The skipper says the wind is right So walk and heave We'll sing a song of where we're goin' and of where we've been And we'll sing of them we left behind and them we're gonna meet I'm sorry but I won't be back to tell thee what I've seen But I know that all you'll see's the gra** grow 'neath your feet Farewell to merry England The place that I've called home Goodbye to those who've missed the boat You're on your own I'll think of them that tried to swim and them that tried to row And tell them that's waiting on the dock for another ship to go There's them that' happy left behind in ye Llendoger Trow They won't be when they realise, they've missed the last ship home.
