For everyone not understanding the Navy slang here.
Man-O-War - a naval ship that was designed for combat and not for merchant service.
Civies - regular civilian clothes.
Killick - Most senior seamen among enlisted sailors but junior to a petty officer.
Mainyard - The yard of the mainmast, from which the mainsail is hung.
Stoker - A sailor who is responsible for all coal handling with the exception of the actual fueling of the boilers.
Aldiss Lamp - Signal lamp for optical communication, typically using Morse code.
Semaphore - an alphabet signaling system based on the waving of a pair of hand-held flags in a particular pattern.
Bunting-tosser - Also known as Bunts are sailors who hoist signal flags.
That's your bleeding lot - All you get / beer.
Tot - a daily ration of rum.
Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast - telling how a ship was maintained in the old days and that they don’t do that anymore.

Lyrics
Well me father often told me when I was just a lad
A sailor's life is very hard, the food is always bad
But now I've joined the navy, I'm aboard a man-o-war
And now I've found a sailor ain't a sailor any more
Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore
A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore
Well the killick of our mess he says we had it soft
It wasn't like that in his day when we were up aloft
We like our bunks and sleeping bags, but what's a hammock for?
Swinging from the deckhead, or lying on the floor?
Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore
A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore
They gave us an engine that first went up and down
Then with more technology the engine went around
We know our steam and diesels but what's a mainyard for?
A stoker ain't a stoker with a shovel anymore
Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore
A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore
They gave us an Aldiss Lamp so we could do it right
They gave us a radio, we signaled day and night
We know our codes and cyphers but what's a sema for?
A bunting-tosser doesn't toss the bunting anymore
Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore
A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore
Two cans of beer a day and that's your bleeding lot
And now we've got an extra one because they stopped The Tot
So we'll put on our civvy-clothes find a pub ashore
A sailor's just a sailor just like he was before
Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore
A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore
Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore
A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore
A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore
A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore

Then go check out the original writer of the song who was given no credit,
Tom Lewis, and his albums which are for sale on iTunes and his website. He’s been making wonderful nautical music like this for many years!

Please God Nathan-don't ever stop singing your sea shanties
@chrissetari6433
he was singing a sea song written by Tom Lewis many years ago ... Tom has CDs you might like
@hunterbenoit1095
@@philthurman5539 tried your link, took less than the first verse to realize this cover far exceeds the original
@SouthwestStories
Except, of course, that it's not his sea shanty he's singing. It's Tom Lewis' song here. And Nathan stole it without giving Tom credit.
