《Salt and Pepper》歌词

[00:00:00] Salt and Pepper - The Houghton Weavers

[00:00:06] The old sailor sat at the window seat

[00:00:08] So he could watch as the ships went by

[00:00:11] And he drank from a glass that was always filled

[00:00:14] For the rest of us would buy

[00:00:16] And he would tell us tales about the ships that sailed

[00:00:19] When he was young and strong

[00:00:22] And when he thought we'd heard enough of his words

[00:00:25] He'd break into this song

[00:00:29] Dee dee dee dah dah dah dah dah dee dee dah

[00:00:32] Dah dah dee dee dee dum

[00:00:36] Each and every day he'd spend this way

[00:00:39] Until the stroke of four

[00:00:41] When a woman as rough as a dockside tough

[00:00:44] Came bursting through the door

[00:00:47] She'd stalk up to that sailor

[00:00:49] And he'd shrink to the size of a pin

[00:00:52] And she'd curse and shout and as she hauled him out

[00:00:55] He'd say with a sheepish grin

[00:00:58] Oh yes I've sailed the southern oceans

[00:01:02] And the stormy northern sea

[00:01:05] Now that me sailin's over me boys

[00:01:07] It's harbor time for me

[00:01:10] I know you call us Salt and Pepper

[00:01:12] For an old salt I may be

[00:01:15] But though she may be pepper to you me boys

[00:01:18] She's sweet as sugar to me

[00:01:23] Dee dee dee dah dah dah dah dah dee dee dah

[00:01:26] Dah dah dee dee dee dum

[00:01:30] Yes we called them Salt and Pepper

[00:01:33] For that's the way she was

[00:01:36] And it seemed she got as least as hot

[00:01:39] As fresh red pepper does

[00:01:41] And a bunch of the boys made offers

[00:01:44] To protect him from her wrath

[00:01:46] But each and every time he would decline

[00:01:49] Declaring with a laugh

[00:01:53] I've sailed the southern oceans

[00:01:56] And the stormy northern sea

[00:01:59] Now that me sailin's over me boys

[00:02:01] It's harbor time for me

[00:02:04] I know you call us Salt and Pepper

[00:02:07] For an old salt I may be

[00:02:09] But though she may be pepper to you me boys

[00:02:12] She's sweet as sugar to me

[00:02:17] Dee dee dee dah dah dah dah dah dee dee dah

[00:02:20] Dah dah dee dee dee dum

[00:02:27] I've had my body broken

[00:02:30] Not drowned but parched bone-dry

[00:02:32] I've heard my name be spoken

[00:02:35] I've spit in the Devil's eye

[00:02:38] The sea once was my mistress

[00:02:40] Now Pepper's replaced her

[00:02:43] But just another captain

[00:02:46] Like my tough old captain's were

[00:02:49] And you can have your milquetoast ladies

[00:02:52] I'm made of old salt brine

[00:02:55] And the gal you saw had starch in her craw

[00:02:58] Not a lace instead of a spine

[00:03:01] Sure the old girl can get tough at times

[00:03:03] But a sailor's what I've been

[00:03:06] And when a storm's about you learn to ride it out

[00:03:09] So you can sail once again

[00:03:14] Oh yes I've sailed the southern oceans

[00:03:17] And the stormy northern sea

[00:03:20] Now that me sailin's over me boys

[00:03:22] It's harbor time for me

[00:03:25] I know you call us Salt and Pepper

[00:03:27] For an old salt I may be

[00:03:30] But though she may be pepper to you me boys

[00:03:33] She's sweet as sugar to me

[00:03:41] Dee dee dee dah dah dah dah dah dee dee dah

[00:03:44] Dah dah dee dee dee dum

[00:03:47] Dee dee dee dah dah dah dah dah dee dee dah

[00:03:49] Dah dah dee dee dee dum
