the revels chorus – run the riggin’ again lyrics
when i was a fair maid, about seventeen
i enlisted in the navy, for to serve the queen
i enlisted in the navy, a sailor for a stand
and to hear the cannons rattl’ng and the music so grand
and the music so grand
and the music so grand
for to hear the cannons rattl’n’ and the music so grand
well, the officer that enlisted me was a fine and handsome man
he said, “you’ll make a sailor, so come along, my lad,”
my waist be’n’ tall and slender, my fingers long and thin
and the very soon they’d learned me, i soon exceeded them
oh, i soon exceeded them
i soon exceeded them
oh, the minute that they learned me, i soon exceeded them
well, they sent me to bunk and they sent me to my bed
to lie with the sailors i never was afraid
but takin’ off my bluecoat, it often made me smile
for to think i lay with a thousand men and a maiden all the while
a maiden all the while
a maiden all the while
for to think i lay with a thousand men and a maiden all the while
well, they sent me up to london for to guard the tower
surely might have been there ’til my very dying hour
but a lady fell in love with me, so i told her i was a maid
well, she went up to my captain and my secret she betrayed
my secret she betrayed
my secret she betrayed
oh, she went up to my captain and my secret she betrayed
well, the captain came to me and he asked if it was so
i dare not, i dare not, i dare not say no
“a pity we should lose you, such a sailor lad you’d made
it’s a pity we should lose you, such a handsome young maid,”
a handsome young maid
a handsome young maid
it’s a pity we should lose you, such a handsome young maid
well, it’s fare+thee+well, my captain, you’ve been so kind to me
fare+thee+well, my shipmates, i must depart from thee
if the navy ever needs a lad, a sailor i’ll remain
i’ll take off my hat and feathers and i’ll run the rigging again
run the rigging again
run the rigging again
i’ll take off my hat and feathers and i’ll run the rigging again
