Yesterday I went to port
Today I'm going to court
I'm just a sad sailor
And I'm in jail
That's all I know

Another Sailor's Tail Tale

They paddled till we reached the shore
Where I set them free to explore
Then back to the sea
This sailor did flee
They’ll not paddle me anymore

The first seaman
Chosen for the new ship,
But he had to be content
To be the fifth picked.
C'est la vie.

Ready always to defend our home,
Fighting together  or charging alone,
Winning the battle for our very own..

A sailor profusely tattooed
Enjoyed being secretly lewd;
    He took off his clothes
    Whenever he chose,
And looked not the slightest bit nude.
