Bobby Shafto’s gone to sea,
Silver buckles at his knee;
He’ll come back and marry me,
Bonny Bobby Shafto!
Bobby Shafto’s bright and fair,
Panning out his yellow hair;
He’s my love for evermore,
Bonny Bobby Shafto!
One of my son’s recited nursery rhymes!!

It Was Sad When That Great Ship Went Down
Sung by Boy and Girl Scouts everywhere

Columbo was a Sailor
He came from old Italee
(that is quite far enough
Those that ‘know’, know. Those that don’t probably don’t want to. <: <: <:)
Southern Cross, Crosby Stills and Nash
The Reach - Dan Fogelberg
The Banana Boat Song--The Fontane Sisters
The Banana Boat Song--Freddy Quinn
The Banana Boat Story--Buchanan & Goodman
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Klaus Billing. Poem by Heinrich Heine.
Got out of town on a boat
Goin’ to Southern islands.
Sailing a reach
Before a followin’ sea.
She was makin’ for the trades
On the outside,
And the downhill run
To Papeete.
Off the wind on this heading
Lie the Marquesas.
We got eighty feet of the waterline.
Nicely making way.
In a noisy bar in Avalon
I tried to call you.
But on a midnight watch I realized
Why twice you ran away.
Chorus
Think about how many times
I have fallen
Spirits are using me
larger voices callin’.
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten.
I have been around the world,
Lookin’ for that woman/girl,
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.
When you see the Southern Cross
For the first time
You understand now
Why you came this way
‘Cause the truth you might be runnin’ from
Is so small.
But it’s as big as the promise
The promise of a comin’ day.
So I’m sailing for tomorrow
My dreams are a dyin’.
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain.
I have my ship
And all her flags are a flyin’
She is all that I have left
And music is her name.
Chorus
Think about how many times
I have fallen
Spirits are using me
larger voices callin’.
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten.
I have been around the world,
Lookin’ for that woma/girl,
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.
So we cheated and we lied
And we tested
And we never failed to fail
It was the easiest thing to do.
You will survive being bested.
Somebody fine
Will come along
Make me forget about loving you.
At the Southern Cross.
“Reuben James” even if it is by Woody Guthrie.
Good night and sleep tight. (((HUGS)))
Czeslaw Niemen - O zdobyciu morskiego brzegu (The Conquest of the Sea Shore)

Loose translation of the Polish Lyrics:
Our grandfather their lands
of the sea chest resisted
Our fathers his tribe
enemies to the sword yielded
Our grandfather their swords
washed the oceans
And we guilt of their fathers
washes in their wounds
Our ancestors were enough fish salty and smelly,
We come for fresh, splashing in the ocean!
Our fathers enough if towns fought against,
And a storm does not deter her menacing sound of sea waves.
Our fathers deer hunting device,
And we hunt treasures and monsters, hidden in the ocean!
just click on and cranked it up.
thanks for the link!
