Lyrics A Sailor Ain't A Sailor - The Fisherman's Friends
My
father
always
told
me
when
I
was
just
a
lad
A
sailor's
life
was
very
hard,
the
food
was
always
bad
But
now
I've
joined
the
navy,
aboard
a
man
o'
war
But
now
I
find
a
sailor
ain't
a
sailor
anymore
Don't
haul
on
the
rope
Don't
climb
up
the
mast
If
you
see
a
sailing
ship
it
might
be
your
last
Just
get
your
civies
ready
for
another
run
ashore
A
sailor
ain't
a
sailor,
ain't
a
sailor
anymore
The
killick
of
our
mess,
he
says
we
got
it
soft
It
wasn't
like
this
in
his
day
when
he
was
up
aloft
We
like
our
bunks
and
sleeping
bags,
and
what's
a
hammock
for?
Swinging
from
the
deckhead,
or
lying
on
the
floor?
Don't
haul
on
the
rope
Don't
climb
up
the
mast
If
you
see
a
sailing
ship
it
might
be
your
last
Just
get
your
civies
ready
for
another
run
ashore
A
sailor
ain't
a
sailor,
ain't
a
sailor
anymore
They
gave
us
an
engine
that
first
went
up
and
down
With
some
more
technology,
the
engine
went
around
We
know
our
steam
and
diesel,
but
what's
a
mainyard
for?
A
stoker
ain't
a
stoker
with
a
shovel
anymore
Don't
haul
on
the
rope
Don't
climb
up
the
mast
If
you
see
a
sailing
ship
it
might
be
your
last
Just
get
your
civies
ready
for
another
run
ashore
A
sailor
ain't
a
sailor,
ain't
a
sailor
anymore
They
gave
us
an
Aldiss
lamp,
so
we
could
do
it
right
They
gave
us
a
radio
to
signal
day
and
night
We
know
our
codes
and
ciphers,
but
what's
a
semaphore?
A
bunting-tosser
doesn't
toss
the
bunting
anymore
Don't
haul
on
the
rope
Don't
climb
up
the
mast
If
you
see
a
sailing
ship
it
might
be
your
last
Just
get
your
civies
ready
for
another
run
ashore
A
sailor
ain't
a
sailor,
ain't
a
sailor
anymore
Two
cans
of
beer
a
day
and
that's
your
bleeding
lot
They
gave
us
an
extra
one
because
we
swabbed
the
top
So
get
on
our
civvy
clothes,
you'll
find
a
pub
ashore
A
sailor's
still
a
sailor,
just
like
he
was
before!
Don't
haul
on
the
rope
Don't
climb
up
the
mast
If
you
see
a
sailing
ship
it
might
be
your
last
Just
get
your
civies
ready
for
another
run
ashore
A
sailor
ain't
a
sailor,
ain't
a
sailor
anymore
Don't
haul
on
the
rope
Don't
climb
up
the
mast
If
you
see
a
sailing
ship
it
might
be
your
last
Just
get
your
civies
ready
for
another
run
ashore
A
sailor
ain't
a
sailor,
ain't
a
sailor
anymore
