TESTO DEL LIED

"Abel Wright"
di B. Martin

Abel Wright was a joiner's mate
Who shipped as a carpenteer.
The ship she sprang a tiny leak,
And now, if Abel you would seek,
Look twenty fathom below,
Yo Ho!
Look twenty fathom below.
Nobby Clark was a soldier bold
Who went to sea as a cook,
His one idea was fried fish roes,
Sew him up tight with a weight at his toes,
For Nobby won't cook no more,
Yo Ho!
Nobby won't cook no more.
