Sam's gone away

I wish I was a cabin boy, aboard a man o'war,
Sam's gone away, aboard a man o'war!
Pretty work, brave boys, pretty work, I say.
Sam's gone away, aboard a man o'war!

I wish I was the captain, aboard a man o'war...

I wish I was the bos'n, aboard a man o'war...

I wish I was a gunner, aboard a man o'war...

You'll never be a hero, aboard a man o'war...

... en version de base, ou alors avec une variante :

I wish I was a bosun on board a man-o-war,
Sam's gone away, on board a man-o-war!
Pretty work, brave boys, pretty work, I say.
Sam's gone away, on board a man-o-war!

I wish I was the gunner on board a man-o-war...

I wish I was the chief mate on board a man-o-war...

I wish I was the captain on board a man-o-war...

I wish I was the purser on board a man-o-war...

I'm glad I'm not the ship's rat on board a man-o-war...

I guess that's all the people on board a man-o-war...
