Why do men go to sea
Is a question often asked
Is it by design is it a plan
Or because they have –
No sense to stay on land
And when the seaman returns
He is treated with contempt
They keep him on the run
All because his language-
Tends to be rough and strong
And he’s fond of a slug of rum
So here’s to the seamen and stokers
The chippies and greenies all
Who venture out to sea
Who feel the oceans call
Beautiful! Here’s to them indeed!
