[00:00.00]The Last Shanty - Nathan Evans
[00:01.05]Lyrics by : Tom Lewis
[00:01.92]Composed by : Tom Lewis
[00:02.81]Well me father often told me when I was just a lad
[00:06.01]A sailor's life is very hard the food is always bad
[00:08.96]But now l've joined the navy I'm
[00:10.69]aboard a man - o - war
[00:12.62]And now I've found a sailor ain't a sailor any more
[00:15.40]Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast
[00:18.83]If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
[00:21.71]Just get your civvies ready for another run - ashore
[00:25.32]A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore
[00:28.29]Well the kilick of our mess he says we had it soft
[00:31.75]It wasn't like that in his day when we were up aloft
[00:34.60]We like our bunks and sleeping bags but what's a hammock for
[00:38.01]Swinging from the deckhead or lying on the floor
[00:40.98]Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast
[00:44.55]If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
[00:47.37]Just get your civvies ready for
[00:49.17]another run - ashore
[00:50.82]A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore
[00:53.89]They gave us an engine that first went up and down
[00:57.55]Then with more technology the engine went around
[01:00.37]We know our steam and diesels but what's a mainyard for
[01:03.82]A stoker ain't a stoker with a shovel anymore
[01:06.59]Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast
[01:10.18]If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
[01:12.82]Just get your civvies ready for
[01:14.95]another run - ashore
[01:16.47]A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore
[01:19.84]And two cans of beer a day
[01:21.51]And that's your bleeding lot
[01:23.10]And now we've got an extra one
[01:24.55]Because they stopped the tot
[01:25.88]So we'll put on our civvy - clothes find a pub ashore
[01:29.20]A sailor's just a sailor just like he was before
[01:32.34]Don't haul on the rope dont climb up the mast
[01:35.74]If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
[01:38.68]Just get your civvies ready for another run - ashore
[01:42.13]A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore
[01:45.07]Dont haul on the rope don't climb up the mast
[01:48.66]If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
[01:51.45]Just get your civvies ready for
[01:53.32]another run - ashore
[01:54.88]A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore
