jerry bryant - ben backstay lyrics

ben backstay was our boatswain, a very merry boy
for no one half so merrily could pipe all hands ahoy
and when unto his summons we did not well attend
no lad than he more merrily could handle the rope’s end
could handle the rope’s end!
could handle the rope’s end!
(sing it!)

chip chow, cherry chow, fa+le+riddle+liddle+lao
chip chow, cherry chow, fa+de+rad+del+day
chip chow, cherry chow, fa+le+riddle+liddle+lao
chip chow, cherry chow, fa+del+rad+del+day

while sailing once, our captain who was a jolly dog
servеd out to all the company a double whack of grog
ben backstay hе got tipsy all to his heart’s content
and he being half seas over, boys, right overboard he went
right overboard he went!
right overboard he went!
(sing it!)

chip chow, cherry chow, fa+le+riddle+liddle+lao
chip chow, cherry chow, fa+de+rad+del+day
chip chow, cherry chow, fa+le+riddle+liddle+lao
chip chow, cherry chow, fa+del+rad+del+day
a shark was on the starboard bow, and sharks no men can stand
but grapple everything, just like them sharks on land
we heaved ben out some tackle+end, to give his life some hope
but as the shark bit off his head he couldn’t see the rope
he couldn’t see the rope!
he couldn’t see the rope!
(sing it!)

chip chow, cherry chow, fa+le+riddle+liddle+lao
chip chow, cherry chow, fa+de+rad+del+day
chip chow, cherry chow, fa+le+riddle+liddle+lao
chip chow, cherry chow, fa+del+rad+del+day

without a head his ghost appeared all on the briny lake
he piped all hands ahoy and cried, “lads, warning by me take
by drinking grog i lost me life, and you my fate could meet
why, never mix your rum, m’lads, but always take it neat”
but always take it neat!
but always take it neat!
(sing it!)

chip chow, cherry chow, fa+le+riddle+liddle+lao
chip chow, cherry chow, fa+de+rad+del+day
chip chow, cherry chow, fa+le+riddle+liddle+lao
chip chow, cherry chow, fa+del+rad+del+day
