peter warlock - captain stratton's fancy lyrics

Loading...

oh, some are fond of red wine and some are fond of white
and some are all for dancing by the pale moonlight:
but rum alone’s the tipple, and the heart’s delight
of the old bold mate of henry morgan

oh, some are fond of spanish wine and some are fond of french
and some’ll swallow tay and stuff fit only for a wench;
but i’m for right jamaica till i roll beneath the bench
says the old bold mate of henry morgan

oh, some are for the lily and some are for the rose
but i am for the sugar cane that in jamaica grows;
for it’s that that makes the bonny drink to warm my copper nose
says the old bold mate of henry morgan

oh, some are fond of fiddles and a song well sung
and some are all for music for to lilt upon the tongue;
but mouths were made for tankards, and for sucking at the bung
says the old bold mate of henry morgan

oh, some that’s good and godly ones they hold that it’s a sin
to troll the jolly bowl around, and [let]1 the dollars spin;
but i’m for toleration and for drinking at an inn
says the old bold mate of henry morgan
