A
sailor's life is supposed
to be a hell of a lot of fun.
Yes, but when you're a sailor,
take it from me,
you work like a son of a gun.
They give us jobs of every kind,
And chores of every sort.
But, sweat away, sailor,
you don't mind,
Cause you know when you hit pot,
There will always be a lady fair,
A jamming fair, or a sadie fair.
There'll always be a lady fair
Who's waiting there for you.
There will always be a lady fair,
To smooth your troubles
and to moss your hair.
There'll always be a lady fair
Who's waiting there for you.
There will
always
be a woman's charm
To kill your worries and to
fill your arms.
There'll always be a lady fair
Who's waiting there for you.
When you're three days out
and the time arrives
When you're anchoring
for the dames
There are always certain
passengers, wives
Who will help you further your aims
So when the moon isn't
too damn bright,
And the sea isn't too damn rough,
Call up to the boat deck late at night,
And you'll find that,
sure enough, there will
Always be a Lady Fair,
A Jenning Fair or a Sadie Fair,
There'll always be a Lady Fair
Who's waiting there for you.
There will always be a girl's caress
To change your answer from a no to a yes,
There'll always be a Lady Fair
Who's waiting there for you.
You will always find a maiden sweet
To cool your temper
and to warm your feet.
There'll always be a lady fair
Who's waiting there for you.
