Well, me father often told me when I was just a lad
A sailor's life was very hard, the food was always bad
But now I've joined the navy, I'm on board a man-o'-war
And now I've found a sailor ain't a sailor any more
Don't call on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be a last
[G] Get your tippies ready for another round [Cm] the shore
A sailor ain't a [N] sailor ain't a sailor any more
Well, a killick of our mess he says we've had it soft
It wasn't like this in his day when he was a beloved
We like our bunks and sleeping bags but what's a hammock for?
Swinging from the deckhead or lying on the floor
Don't call on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be a last
Get your tippies ready for another round the shore
A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor any more
Well, they gave us an engine that first went up and down
Then with more technology the engine went around
We know a steam and diesel but what's a maniard for?
A stoker ain't a stoker with a shovel any more
Don't call on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be a last
[G] Get your tippies ready for [Ab] another round the shore
A [N] sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor any more
Well, they gave us an oldest lamp so we can do it right
They gave us a radio we signal day and night
We know our codes and ciphers but what's a semaphore?
A bunting tosser doesn't toss a bunting any more
Don't call on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be [D] a last
Get your tippies ready [G] for another round the shore
A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor any more
Two cans of beer a day and that's your bleeding lot
Now we get an extra one because they stop the top
So we'll put on our civvy clothes and find a pub ashore
A sailor's still a sailor just like he was before
Don't call on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be a last
Get your tippies ready for another round the shore
A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor any more
A sailor's life was very hard, the food was always bad
But now I've joined the navy, I'm on board a man-o'-war
And now I've found a sailor ain't a sailor any more
Don't call on the rope, don't climb up the mast
