The old sailor sat at the window So he could as the ships went by And he drank a glass that was always filled For the of us would buy. And he would tell us tales about the ships that 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 every day he'd this way Until the stroke of When a woman as as a dockside tough Came bursting the door. She'd up to that sailor And he'd to the size of a pin. And she'd curse and 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 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 them Salt and Pepper, For the way she was And it she got as least as hot As red pepper does. And a bunch of the boys offers To him from her wrath, But each and 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 replaced her. But just captain, my tough old captain's were.
And you can have 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 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)
