[00:12.000] | The wind is on the river and the tide has turned too late, |
[00:20.000] | So we're sailing for another shore where some other ladies wait. |
[00:27.000] | To throw us silken whispers: catch us by the anchor chains --- |
[00:35.000] | But we all laugh so politely and we sail on just the same. |
[00:42.000] | For Queen and Country in the long dying day, |
[00:49.000] | And it's been this way for five long years, |
[00:53.000] | Since we signed our souls away. |
[00:57.000] | We bring back gold and ivory; rings of diamonds; strings of pearls --- |
[01:04.000] | Make presents to the government |
[01:07.000] | So they can have their social whirl |
[01:12.000] | With Queen and Country in the long dying day. |
[01:19.000] | And it's been this way for five long years |
[01:22.000] | Since we signed our souls away. |
[01:42.000] | For Queen and Country in the long dying day. |
[01:50.000] | And it's been this way for five long years |
[01:54.000] | Since we signed our souls away. |
[01:58.000] | They build schools and they build factories |
[02:01.000] | With the spoils of battles won. |
[02:05.000] | And we remain their pretty sailor boys --- |
[02:09.000] | Hold our heads up to the gun |
[02:12.000] | Of Queen and Country in the long dying day. |
[02:20.000] | And it's been this way for five long years |
[02:23.000] | Since we signed our souls away. |
[02:27.000] | To Queen and Country in the long dying day. |
[02:34.000] | And it's been this way for five long years |
[02:38.000] | Since we signed our souls away. |
