The old sailor sat at the window So he could as the ships went by And he from a glass that was always filled For the of us would buy. And he tell us tales about the ships that sailed When he was and strong. And when he we'd heard enough of his words He'd break into song. Dee dee dee dah dah dah dee dee dee dah dah Dah dah dee dee dee dum.
Each and every day he'd spend way Until the stroke of When a woman as rough as a tough Came bursting the door. stalk up to that sailor And shrink to the size of a pin. And she'd curse and shout and as she him out He'd say with a sheepish
I've sailed the southern And the stormy sea, But now that me over, me boys, It's harbor for me. I you call us Salt and Pepper, For an old I may be, But she may be pepper 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 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 every time, he decline, with a laugh:

And you can have milquetoast ladies, I'm made of old 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 what been, And when a storm's about, you learn to it out, So you can once again.
(Repeat Chorus)
