And he would tell us tales about the ships that sailed When he was young and strong. And when he thought we'd heard enough of his words He'd break into this song. Dee dee dee dah dah dah dee dee dee dah dah Dah dah dee dee dee dum. Each and every day he'd spend this way Until the stroke of four When a woman as rough as a dockside tough Came bursting through the door. She'd stalk up to that sailor And he'd shrink to the size of a pin. And she'd curse and shout and as she hauled him out He'd say with a sheepish grin: Chorus: I've sailed the southern oceans And the stormy northern sea, But now that me sailin's over, me boys, It's harbor time for me. I know you call us Salt and Pepper, For an old salt I may be, But though she may be pepper to you, me boys, She's sweet as sugar to me. Dee dee dee dah dah dah dee dee dee dah dah Dah dah dee dee dee dum. Yes, we called them Salt and Pepper, For that's the way she was And it seemed she got as least as hot As fresh red pepper does. And a bunch of the boys made offers To protect him from her wrath, But each and every time, he would decline, Declaring with a laugh: (Repeat Chorus) I've had my body broken, Not drowned, but parched bone-dry. I've heard my name be spoken, I've spit in the Devil's eye. The sea once was my mistress, Now Pepper's replaced her. But just another captain, Like my tough old captain's were. And you can have your milquetoast lad Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Somebody Said, Someone Keeps Calling My Name, Sometime, Somewhere Wife, Song for Myself, Song Man, Star Tripper, Stop Singing These Sad Songs, Story Of A Life, Stranger with the Melodies, Sunday Morning Sunshine, Tangled Up Puppet, Taxi, The Day They Closed the Factory Down, The Mayor Of Candor Lied, The Parades Still Passing By, The Parades Still Passing By, The Rock, The Same Sad Singer, The Shortest Story, The Story Of A Life, There Was Only One Choice, They Call Her Easy, Thirty Thousand Pounds Of Bananas, Thirty Tousand Pounds Of Bananas, Up On A Shelf, Up On the Shelf, Vacancy, W*O*L*D*, We Grew Up A Little Bit, We Were Three, What Made America Famous, Why Do Little Girls?, Why Should People Stay the Same, Winter Song, Wold, Woman Child, Word Wizard, You Are the Only Song, It Had To Be You, Promise Me Youll Remember, Autumn Serenade, Hes My Guy, Hes My Guy, I Cant Begin to Tell You, I Dont Want to Walk Without You, I Had the Craziest Dream, Ill Get By, Im Always Chasing Rainbows, Im Beginning to See the Light, Ive Heard That Song Before, Other Harry Chapin song Lyrics 30,000 Pounds Of Bananas Lyrics A Better Place To Be Lyrics A Lot of Lonely People Tonight Lyrics A Quiet Little Love Affair Lyrics All My Lifes A Circle Lyrics And The Baby Never Cries Lyrics Anthem Lyrics Any Old Kind Of Day Lyrics Babysitter Lyrics Barefoot Boy Lyrics Basic Protest Song Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Harry Connick Lyrics Jr. Harry Connick Lyrics Harry James Lyrics Harry James Orchestra Lyrics Harry McClintock Lyrics Harry Mills Lyrics Harry Nilsson Lyrics Harry Potter Lyrics Harry Secombe Lyrics Harry Simeone Chorale Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
