bounding main - capital ship lyrics

Loading...

a capital ship for an ocean trip
was the walloping window blind
no wind that blew dismayed her crew
or troubled the captain’s mind
the man at the wheel was made to feel
contempt for the wildest blow
but it often appeared when the gale had cleared
he’d been in his bunk below

so blow your winds, heigh-ho, a-roving i will go
i’ll stay no more on england’s sh0r-
so let the music play
i’m off on the morning train
across the bounding main
i’m off to my love with a boxing glove
ten thousand miles away

the bosun’s mate was very sedate
yet fond of amus-m-nt too
he played hop-scotch with the starboard watch
while the captain tickled the crew
the gunner we had was apparently mad
for she sat on the after rail
and fired salutes in the captain’s boots
in the t–th of the booming gale

so blow your winds, heigh-ho, a-roving i will go
i’ll stay no more on england’s sh0r-
so let the music play
i’m off on the morning train
across the bounding main
i’m off to my love with a boxing glove
ten thousand miles away

the captain sat on a commodore’s hat
and dined in a royal way
off roasted pigs and pickles and figs
and gummery bread each day
our cook he was dutch and behaved as such
for the diet he gave the crew
was a couple of tons of hot-cross buns
served up with sugar and glue

so blow your winds, heigh-ho, a-roving i will go
i’ll stay no more on england’s sh0r-
so let the music play
i’m off on the morning train
across the bounding main
i’m off to my love with a boxing glove
ten thousand miles away

now we all felt ill as mariners will
on a diet that’s cheap and rude
and we shivered and shook as we dipped the cook
in a tub of his gluesome food
then nautical pride we laid aside
as we cast the vessel ash0r-
on the gulliby isles, where the poohpooh smiles
and the anagazanders roar

so blow your winds, heigh-ho, a-roving i will go
i’ll stay no more on england’s sh0r-
so let the music play
i’m off on the morning train
across the bounding main
i’m off to my love with a boxing glove
ten thousand miles away

i’m off to my love with a boxing glove
ten thousand miles away
i’m off to my love with a boxing glove
ten thousand miles away
hey!
