• 09 - The Sailor`s Alphabet

A’s for the anchor that lies at the bow
B’s for the bowsprit the jibs all lie ‘low
C for the capstan we all run around,
D’s for the davits to lower the boats down
(Chorus)
Merrily, merrily
So merry sail we, no mortal on earth like a sailor at sea (and it’s)
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there’s nothing goes wrong
E’s for the ensign that up the mast flew
F is the fo’c’sle where lives the whole crew
G’s for the galley where the salt junk smells strong
H for the halyards we hoist with a song
(Chorus)
I for the eyebolts, no good for the feet
J’s for the jibs, boy, stand by the lee sheet
K’s for the knighthead where the petty officer stands
L’s for the leeside, hard found by new hands
(Chorus)
M is the mainmast, it’s stout and it’s strong
N’s for the needle, it never points wrong
O’s for the oars of our old jolly boat
P’s for the pinnace that lively does float
(Chorus)
Q is the quarterdeck where the officers stand
R’s for the rudder, keeps the ship in command
S for the stunsails that drive her along
T’s for the topmast, to get there takes long
(Chorus)
U’s for the uniforms, mostly worn aft
V’s for the vang running from the main gaff
W’s for the water, we’re on the pint and the pound
X marks the spot where old Stormy was drowned
(Chorus)
Y’s for the yardarm, needs a good sailor man
Zed is for Zoey, I’m her fancy man
Zed’s also for zero in the cold winter time
And now we have set all the letters in rhyme
(Chorus)
