The Tossers - Nantucket Girls Song lyrics
Then I'll haste to wed a sailor and send him off to sea For a life of independence is the pleasant life for me But every now and then I would like to see his face For it always seems to me to beam with a manly grace With his brow so nobly open and his dark and kindly eye Oh my heart beats fondly towards him whenever he is nigh But when he says goodbye me love I'm off across the sea First I cry for his departure then I laugh because I'm free -- Eliza Brock, 18th Century Islander Oh I'm a man that's handsome, I'm strapping and I'm young And when I gotta job to do, the job gets fuckin' done I want a love to keep me happy I want a love that's true And of all my past endeavors if it's smitten then I'm with you So I'll put on my buckle and shoe and I'll comb up me hair And I lighten up my belt and shirt so it's handsome I'll appear And I'll work both day and night to keep the money rolling in So I can come back to my love, so I can see you again Oh to walk the street or countryside whatever I may know I know that I will be O.K. where ever it is I go So I'm sorry I don't want children to follow at my feet I'm happy by myself not chasing kids into the street Oh I wasn't born for marrying for the game or for the blame And when my friends do call me I like hearing my own name But when he says goodbye my dear, I'm off across the sea First I cry for his departure, then I laugh because I'm free. |
