The old sailor sat at the window So he watch as the ships went by And he drank from a glass that was always For the rest of us buy. And he would tell us tales about the that sailed he was young and strong. And when he thought we'd heard enough of his He'd into this song. Dee dee dee dah dah dah dee dee dee dah dah Dah dah dee dee dee dum.
Each and day he'd spend this way Until the of four When a as rough as a dockside tough bursting through the door. She'd stalk up to that And shrink to the size of a pin. And she'd and shout and as she hauled him out He'd say a sheepish grin:
I've sailed the southern And the northern sea, But now that me over, me boys, It's time for me. I know you call us and Pepper, For an old I may be, But she may be pepper to you, me boys, She's as sugar to me. Dee dee dee dah dah dah dee dee dee dah dah Dah dah dee dee dee dum.
Yes, we them Salt and Pepper, For the way she was And it seemed she got as as hot As fresh red does. And a bunch of the boys made To him from her wrath, But each and time, he would decline, Declaring 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 old captain's were.
And you can your milquetoast ladies, I'm of old salt brine, And the gal you saw had in her craw, Not a instead of a spine. Sure, the old girl can get at times, But a sailor's I've been, And when a storm's about, you learn to it out, So you can once again.
(Repeat Chorus)
