The old sailor sat at the seat So he could as the ships went by And he drank from a that was always filled For the of us would buy. And he tell us tales about the ships that sailed he was young and strong. And when he thought we'd enough of his words break into this song. Dee dee dee dah dah dah dee dee dee dah dah Dah dah dee dee dee dum.
Each and every day spend this way the stroke of four When a woman as as a dockside tough bursting through the door. She'd stalk up to that And he'd shrink to the of a pin. And she'd curse and and as she hauled him out He'd say with a sheepish
I've sailed the southern And the northern sea, But now me sailin's over, me boys, harbor time for me. I know you us Salt and Pepper, For an old I may be, But though she may be to you, me boys, She's sweet as to me. Dee dee dee dah dah dah dee dee dee dah dah Dah dah dee dee dee dum.
Yes, we called Salt and Pepper, For the way she was And it she got as least as hot As fresh red does. And a of the boys made offers To protect him her wrath, But and every time, he would decline, with a laugh:
(Repeat Chorus)
I've had my broken, Not drowned, but bone-dry. heard my name be spoken, I've spit in the eye. The sea was my mistress, Now Pepper's her. But another captain, Like my tough old were.
And you can your milquetoast ladies, I'm of old salt brine, And the gal you saw had in her craw, Not a lace of a spine. Sure, the old can get tough at times, But a sailor's what been, And when a storm's about, you learn to it out, So you can once again.
(Repeat Chorus)
