Many years ago

Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish ladies,

Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain;

For we have received orders

For to sail to old England,

But we hope in a short time to see you again.

We'll rant and we'll roar, like true British sailors,

We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt seas;

Until we strike soundings

In the Channel of old England,

'what are you singing?' trouble asked Rudy as he and Marty sang, drunkenly on their hammocks.

'little lady never heard us singing the Spanish ladies?' marty asked.

'I thought I wasn't a lady anymore.' She teased.

'you got tits and pussy love. Youre a lady. Not a proper one, but a lady.' Rudy said.

'how would you know?' she questioned. Laughing at them as their faces turned red.

'Shut it trouble we all saw you in a dress when we first brought you aboard.' Rudy said picking her up and putting her in his lap.

'I can make a pirate blush... good to know.' She said grinning.

'wait til you actually want to make a man blush Trouble... you are gonna be a heart breaker!' marty informed her.

'sing some more?' she asked laying back against rudy.

From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues.

Then we hove our ship to, with the wind at the sou'west, my boys,

Then we hove our ship to, for to strike soundings clear;

Then we filled the main topsail

And bore right away, my boys,

And straight up the Channel of old England did steer

So the first land we made, it is called the Deadman,

Next Ram Head, off Plymouth, Start, Portland, and the Wight;

We sailèd by Beachy,

By Fairly and Dungeness,

And then bore away for the South Foreland light.

Now the signal it was made for the Grand Fleet to anchor

All in the Downs that night for to meet;

Then stand by your stoppers,

See clear your shank painters,

Hawl all your clew garnets, stick out tacks and sheets.

Now let every man take off his full bumper,

Let every man take off his full bowl;

For we will be jolly

And drown melancholy,

With a health to each jovial and true hearted soul.'
