The Rosabella

From Barefoot the Bootless

One Monday morning in the month of May
One Monday morning in the month of May
I thought I heard the old man say
The Rosabella will sail today

I’m going on board the Rosabella
I’m going on board the Rosabella
I’m going on board right down to port
The saucy Rosabella

She’s a deepwater ship with a deepwater crew
She’s a deepwater ship with a deepwater crew
You can stick to the coast but we’re damned if we do
On board the Rosabella

All around Cape Horn in the month of May
All around Cape Horn in the month of May
It’s around Cape Horn is a bloody long way
On board the Rosabella

Them Liverpool girls do make me grieve
Them Liverpool girls do make me grieve
For steal my heart then I must leave
On board the Rosabella
