Cruise Of The Calabar - The Clancy Brothers/David Hammond/Families
Come all ye dry-land sail-y-ors and listen to my song
For it's only forty verses and it won't detain you long
It's all about the advent-y-ures of this here lisburn tar
Who sailed as a man before the mast on the good ship calabar
Now the calabar was a spanking craft copper-fastened fore and aft
Her helm it stuck out far behind and her wheel had a great big shaft
With half a gale to swell each sail she'd make one knot per hour
She's the fastest craft on the lagan canal and she's only one horse-power
Now the skipper he was a strapping lad he stood just four feet two
His eyes were green his nose was red
And his cheeks were a prussian blue
He wore a leather medal that he'd won at the crimea war
And the captain's wife was passenger cook on the good ship calabar
Now the skipper he says to me my lad look here me lad says he
Would yous like to be a sail-y-or to sail the raging sea
Would yous like to be a sail-y-or the foreign seas to roll
For we're under orders for portadown with half a ton of coal
Then next morning we set sail the weather being sublime
And passing under the old queen's bridge we heard the albert chime
'Tis then we came to the gasworks straight a very dangerous part
And ran head on to a lump of coal that wasn't marked on the chart
Then all became confusion while the stormy winds did blow
Our bo'sun slipped on an orange peel and fell into the hold below
Put on more steam the captain cried for we are sorely pressed
But the engineer from the bank replied the horse is doing his best
And we all fell into the water and then let out a roar
There was a farmer standing there and he threw us the end of his galluses
And he pulled it all ashore
No more I'll be a sail-y-or to sail the raging main
And the next time I go to portadown i'm bloody sure I'll go by train
