Victoria Nautical Song Circle's
August 2003 Song Of The Month


DAVY LOWSTON

Me name was Davy Lowston, I did seal, I did seal,
Me name was Davy Lowston, I did seal,
Oh, me men and I were lost, though our very lives it cost,
We did seal, we did seal, we did seal...
 
We were set down in Open Bay, we were set down, we were set down,
We were set down in Open Bay, we were set down,
We were left, we gallant men, nevermore to sail again,
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore...
 
Our captain John McGraw, he set sail, he set sail,
Oh, yes, for old Port Stanley, he set sail,
Ill return, men, without fail, but he foundered in the gale
And went down, and went down, and went down...
 
So come all you lads who venture, far from home, far from home.
So come all you lads who venture, far from home,
Where the icebergs tower high, thats a pitiful place to die
Never seal, never seal, never seal...
 
Repeat first verse
