Gay Head
Cztery Refy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Opowieść będzie krótka potem wypijemy znów
Z New Bedford wielorybnik był tam każdy go dobrze znał
Dowodził tam kapitan Jones a bark Gay Head się zwał
Do dna do dna
Za dzielny bark Gay Head
Niewiele już zostało nam znów trzeba płynąć w rejs
Z tysiącem beczek wrócimy tu i zabawimy się
Jimmy to zacny facet był do statku serce miał
Harpunnik Tom też równy chłop tawerny wszystkie znał
Czy to do żagli czy do pomp robota szła bez słów
Wspaniałą załogę miał Gay Head jej zdrowie pijmy znów
Pierwszy zawsze czujny był z drugim nie groził głód
A bosman kiedyś mieszkał w Dartmouth zwali go Mr Wood
Gdy trzeba było zrobić coś lepiej nie zrobił nikt
Za dzielną załogę barku Gay Head wypijmy jeszcze łyk
Długo bym o tym mówić mógł lecz kończy nam się rum
A rano trzeba w morze iść zostanie w głowie szum
Gdy powrócimy znowu tu za miesiąc lub za rok
Popłyną opowieści z mórz i w górę pójdzie szkło
