lyrics

PRESSGANG MEDLEY:


CAPTAIN BOVER

Where hast thou been me canny hinny
Where hast thou been me winsome man
Where hast thou been me canny hinny
Where hast thou been me winsome man

I’ve been tae the nor’ard cruisin’ back and for’ard
I’ve been tae the nor’ard cruisin’ sair and lang
I’ve been tae the nor’ard cruisin’ back and for’ard
But I daren’t come ashore for fear of Bover and his gang


HERE’S THE TENDER COMIN’

Here's the tender comin’, pressin’ all the men
Oh dear hinny, what shall we do then?
Here's the tender comin’ off at Shield's Bar
Here's the tender comin’ full o’ men o’ war

Here's the tender coming, pressing of me dear
Oh dear hinny, tak ye ’way frae here
They will ship ye foreign, that is what it means
Here's the tender comin’, full o’ red marines

Here's the tender comin’, pressin’ all the men
Oh dear hinny, what shall we do then?
Here's the tender comin’ off at Shield's Bar
Here's the tender comin’ full o’ men o’ war

And if they tak ye Geordie whe's to win our bread?
Me and little Jackie better off be dead
Here's the tender comin’ off at Shield's Bar
Here's the tender comin’ full o’ men o’ war

So hide me canny Geordie, hide yersel’ away
Hide until the frigate makes for Drudge Bay
Here's the tender comin’ off at Shield's Bar
Here's the tender comin’ full o’ men o’ war

Here's the tender coming, pressing of me dear
Oh dear hinny, tak ye ’way frae here
They will ship ye foreign, that is what it means
Here's the tender comin’, full o’ red marines


PROUDLOCK'S HORNPIPE
