The Bonny Lady - The Irish Rovers

All you sea barren men, you’re bound to sail again

Far away from your mooring down in Portsmouth

With your mast strung high and wavin' goodbye

To the lassies you left on shore

I’ve a fine strong crew and I tell 'em what to do

I’m the captain of the ship The Bonny Lady

She my joy and my pride and she’s twenty meters wide

And I call her the ship The Bonny Lady

So haul down the riggin' for we’re bound to sail away

Across the ragin' ocean and we’re sailin' out today

And if we do return you’re bound to hear us say

We’ll be going to sea once more

I’ve a fine strong crew and I tell 'em what to do

I’m the captain of the ship The Bonny Lady

She my joy and my pride and she’s twenty meters wide

And I call her the ship The Bonny Lady

Well my shipmates and me, we sail from sea to sea

With the wind a-whistlin' through the sails

Though the crew gets no rest, they think that I’m the best

Cause I bailed them one and all out of jail

I’ve a fine strong crew and I tell 'em what to do

I’m the captain of the ship The Bonny Lady

She my joy and my pride and she’s twenty meters wide

And I call her the ship The Bonny Lady

We’ve a vast haul of rum, a cargo we will run

From along the far off shores of Haiti

With the brisk salt air just blowin' through me hair

At the wheel of the ship The Bonny Lady

I’ve a fine strong crew and I tell 'em what to do

I’m the captain of the ship The Bonny Lady

She my joy and my pride and she’s twenty meters wide

And I call her the ship The Bonny Lady

I’ve a fine strong crew and I tell 'em what to do

I’m the captain of the ship The Bonny Lady

She my joy and my pride and she’s twenty meters wide

And I call her the ship The Bonny Lady
