Lloyd - Well Rant And Well Roar слова песни

WE`LL RANT AND WE`LL ROARMy name it is Robert, they call me Bob Pittman;I sail in the Ino with Skipper Tim Brown.l`m bound to have Dolly or Biddy or MollyAs soon as l`m able to plank the cash down.chorus: We`ll rant and we`ll roar like true Newfoundlanders, We`Il rant and we`ll roar on deck and below Until we see bottom inside the two sunkers, When straight through the Channel to Toslow we`ll go.l`m a son of a sea-cook, and a cook in a trader;I can dance, I can sing, I can reef the main-boom;I can handle a jigger, and cuts a big figureWhenever I gets in a boat`s standing room.chorus:If the voyage is good, then this fall I will do it;I wants two pound ten for a ring and the priest,A couple o` dollars for clean shirt and collars,And a handful o` coppers to make up a feast.chorus:There`s plump little Polly, her name is Goldsworthy,There`s John Coady`s Kitty, and Mary Tibbo;There`s Clara from Bruley, and young Martha Foley,But the nicest of all is my girl in Toslow.chorus:Farewell and adieu to ye fair ones of VaIen,Farewell and adieu to ye girls in the Cove;I`m bound to the westward, to the wall with the hole in,I`II take her from Toslow the wild world to rove.chorus:Farewell and adieu to ye girls of St. Kyran`s,Of Paradise and Presque, Big and Little Bona,l`m bound unto Toslow to marry sweet Biddy,And if I don`t do so, I`m afraid of her da.chorus:I`ve bought me a house from Katherine Davis,A twenty-pound bed from Jimmy MeGrath;I`ll get me a settle, a pot and a kettle;Then I`ll be ready for Biddy - hurrah!chorus:O, I brought in the Ino this spring from the city,Some rings and gold brooches for the girls in the Bay;I bought me a case-pipe - they call it a meerschaum -It melted like butter upon a hot day.chorus:I went to a dance one night at Fox Harbour,There were plenty of girls, so nice as you`d wish;There was one pretty maiden a-chawin` of frankgumJust like a young kitten a-gnawing fresh fish.chorus:Then here is a heaIth to the girls of Fox Harbour,Of Oderin and Presque, Crabbes Hole and Bruley.Now let ye be jolly, don`t be melancholy,I can`t marry all, or in chokey I`d be.Recorded by Alan Mills (Folkways), A. L. LLoyd (Leviathan)Note: (from Penguin Book of Canadian Folk Songs, Fowkes)This rollicking tale of a young fisherman`s love affairs is aNewfoundland offshoot of the widely known English capstan shanty`Spanish Ladies`, which described the headlands sighted in a homewardvoyage through the English Channel. Pacific whalermen later re-made itto tcll of the Talcahuano Girls, with a chorus: `We`ll rant and we`llroar like true Huasco whalermen,`and Australian drovers sang theirfarewell to the Brisbane Ladies. The Newfoundland version has borrowedveses 2, 8, 9 and 10 from the whalers` song; the remaining versesabout Bob Pittman and his courtship were composed around 1875 by W. H.LeMessurier who was editor of the Evening Herald and later deputyminister of customs in St John`s. James Murphy printed it in Old Songsof Newfoundland in 1912; it appeared in all the Doyle booklets; andMrs. Greenleaf heard it from Mr LeMessurier himself, and also from TomWhite of Sandy Cove, whose version had acquired some variations.Paradise, Oderin, Presque, Brule and St Kyran`s are tiny fishingvillages along the west coast of Placentia Bay.filename[ RANTROARplay.exe SPANLAD2RG===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
