Robin & Barry Dransfield - The Talcahuano Girls lyrics
Oh, I've been a ship’s cook and I've been a clipperman, I can sing, I can dance, I can walk the jib-boom. I can handle a harpoon and cut a fine figure Whenever I get in a boat's standing room. Chorus (after each verse): We'll rant and we'll roar like trueborn young whalermen, We'll rant and we'll roar on deck or below, Until we see bottom inside the two sinkers, Then straight up the channel to Huasco we'll go. I was in Talcahuano last year in a whaler. I bought some gold broaches for the girls in the Bay. I bought me a clay pipe that caused me to miss you, It melted like butter on a hot sunny day. I went to a dance one night in old Tumbez, There was plenty of talent as much as you’d wish. There was one little girl there a-chewing tobacco, Just like a young kitten a-chewing fresh fish. Instrumental Farewell to girls of old Talcahuano, Farewell to girls of far-off Maui. Let’s drink and be merry, don't be melancholy; I can't marry youse all or in chokey I'd be. |
