celtic underground – spanish ladies lyrics
farewell and adieu, to ye fair spanish ladies,
farewell and adieu, ye ladies of spain;
for we’ve received orders to sail for ol’ england,
but we hope that it’s short-lived, to see you again.
[chorus}:
we will rant and we’ll roar like true british sailors,
we’ll rant and we’ll rave across the salt sea.
until we strike soundings in the channel of old
england;
from ushant to scilly is thirty five leagues.
we hove our ship to, with the wind at sou’west, boys
we hove our ship to, for it takes soundings clear;
at fifty-five fathoms, with a fine sandy bottom,
we filled our main topsail up channel did steer.
[chorus]
the the signal was made for the grand fleet to anchor,
we put up our topsail and struck tacks and sheets;
we stood by our stoppers and bridled and spankered,
and anch-r-d ahead of the n-blest fleet.
[chorus]
let every man here drink up his full b-mper,
let every man here drink up his full bow;
and we will be jolly and drown melancholy,
drink a health to each jovial of each true-hearted
soul.
[chorus]
extra verses:
the first land we sighted was called the dodman,
next rame head off plymouth, off portsmouth the wight;
we sailed by beachy, by fairlight and dover,
and then we bore up for the south foreland light.
[chorus]
then the signal was made for the grand fleet to anchor,
and all in the downs that night for to lie;
let go your shank painter, let go your cat stopper!
haul up your clewgarnets, let tacks and sheets fly!
