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 man on war
And now I find a sailor ain't a sailor anymore
Don't haul on the rope and don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship and maybe your last
Just get your civvies ready for another run ashore
A sailor ain't the sailor ain't the 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 all off
We like our bunks and sleep-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
And if you see a sailing ship it may 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 up and down
And then with the 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
And if you see a sailing ship and maybe your last
Just get your civvies ready for another on a shore
A sailor ain't the sailor ain't the sailor anymore
Two cans beer a day and that's your bleeding lot
And now I've got an extra one because they stop the tot
So we'll put on a civy clothes and find a pub ashore
A sailor's just a sailor just like he was before
Don't haul on the rope and don't climb up the mast
And if you see a sailing ship it may 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 and don't climb up the mast
And if you see a sailing shipit might be your last
Just get your civvies ready for another run ashore
A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore
