Barry Coope - Polly on the Shore şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: Barry Coope

albüm: What We Sing Is What We Are


She was used, she was abused, she never knew she was a victim,
Her drunken father's pleasure, before she was half grown,
Her Ma ignored and she endured, until one night in anger,
She broke the bottle on his head, launched out on her own.
So you can think that she's your Polly on the shore,
She'll be your mother or your sister or your whore,
She'll be waving 'till you're safely out of view,
Then she's looking for another sailor, gullible as you.
She headed down to Sailor Town, began her education,
But Polly knew the only way to win was fighting back,
She learned the ropes and fleeced the dopes, and dreamed above her station,
She kept half of everything she ever stole from Jack.
So you can think that she's your Polly on the shore,
She'll be your mother or your sister or your whore,
She'll be waving 'till you're safely out of view,
Then she's looking for another sailor, gullible as you.
When the crimp said her Ma was dead, she wished she could have cried,
As rumours of her drunken murder spread to Sailor Town,
But Pa went free with drunken glee, so Polly had him Shanghaied,
He woke up on a hell ship, Yokohama bound.
So you can think that she's your Polly on the shore,
She'll be your mother or your sister or your whore,
She'll be waving 'till you're safely out of view,
Then she's looking for another sailor, gullible as you.
Now Polly dines with finest wine, she is quite the lady,
She owns almost everything in dirty Sailor Town,
Polly hires and Polly fires and Polly says what may be,
Oh, but maybe Polly can't forget enough to settle down.
So you can think that she's your Polly on the shore,
She'll be your mother or your sister or your whore,
She'll be waving 'till you're safely out of view,
Then she's looking for another sailor, gullible as you.
So you can think that she's your Polly on the shore,
She'll be your mother or your sister or your whore,
She'll be waving 'till you're safely out of view,
Then she's looking for a sailor, ghost of fisherman or whaler,
Looking for another sailor gullible as you.
