cd: Live at Bainbridge
track 3: Handsome Lass
It’s a handsome lass I’m bound to see
It’s a handsome lass I’m knowin’
She waits for me when I’m at sea
To the handsome lass I’m goin’, goin’
To the handsome lass I’m goin’
She has no long-term plans for me
And that is to me likin’
It’s into port and down the path
And off to her I’m hikin’
It’s off to her I’m hiking
CHORUS
She always makes a mighty stew
And favors me with porter
My shipmates are a jealous lot
They wish that they could court her
They wish that they could court herCHORUS
She tells me I’m a filthy sod
And there will be no lovin’
Until I take a soap and brush
And have me a good scrubbin’
And have me a good scrubbin’
CHORUS
When I’ve been sailing thirty days
I tend to think about her
But I’ll be gone a fortnight more
So I’ll have to do without her
I’ll have to do without her
CHORUS
I fear some day I will return
And be no longer welcome
I may regret the sun has set
And I saw her so seldom
And I saw her so seldom
CHORUS
Dulahan Music
