Inside the Bar - Эдуард Элгар

I knows a town, an' it’s a fine town

And many a brig goes sailin' to its quay;

I knows an inn, an' it’s a fine inn

An' a lass that’s fair to see

I knows a town, an' it’s a fine town;

I knows an inn, an' it’s a fine inn--

But Oh my lass, an' Oh the gay gown

Which I have seen my pretty in!

I knows a port, an' it’s a good port

An' many a brig is ridin' easy there;

I knows a home, an' it’s a good home

An' a lass that’s sweet an' fair

I knows a port, an' it’s a good port

I knows a home, an' it’s a good home--

But Oh the pretty that is my sort

What’s wearyin' till I come!

I knows a day, an' it’s a fine day

The day a sailor man comes back to town;

I knows a tide, an' it’s a good tide

The tide that gets you quick to anchors down

I knows a day, an' it’s a fine day

I knows a tide, an' it’s a good tide--

And God help the lubber, I say

What’s stole the sailor man’s bride!
