| Commentaires : | Poem reads "It's away! Outward the swinging fo'c'les reel From the smoking sea's white glare upon the strand. It's the grey miles that are slipping under keel When we're rolling outward-bound form Newfoundland. from Halifax to Newfiejohn or 'Derry's clustered towers By trackless paths where connin towers roll. If you know another group in which you'd sooner spend your hours, You've never sailed beneath the barber pole! It's the grey seas that are slipping under keel When your rolling outward-bound from Newfoundland. So beware! Harbours that berth the Barber Pole, If you'd keep the situation well in hand, after grey seas that went slipping inder keel when we wallowed outward bound from Newfoundland. Drink a whisky or a navy rum or drink a gin-and-lime Let inebriation be your final goal: Pick a lady you've selected for a short and merry time, There's merry men beneath the barber pole! After grey seas that went slipping under keel When we wallowed outward-bourd from Newfoundland. It's away! Astern of us the Western Isles dies, There's an ocean lies before us to be spanned. It's the grey seas where sullen icebergs lie When we're rolling inward-bound to Newfoundland. From Halifax to Newfiejohn or Derry's clustered towers, By trackless paths where conning towers roll. If you know another group in which you'd sooner spend your hours, You've never sailed beneath the Barber pole! Its the grey seas where sullen icebergs lie When we're rolling inward-bound to Newfoundland. |
