Sea Shanty for Tony Frazer
Oh many old Salties are Shearsmen of sorts
Heave-ho, wellaway
And Tony their captain’s among the good sports
Shear, shear, wellaway
He gathers their labours and prints up their work
Heave-ho, wellaway
When even old Stevens would think them berserk
Shear, shear, wellaway
He’s generous with grog as he sees in their fog
Heave-ho, wellaway
The cut that they missed as cannonballs hissed
Over decks where they’d list
On their way to the bog and to
Heave-ho, Wellaway
