The Queen Fairy

from X Marks the Spot by The Jolly Rogers

lyrics

That Liverpool ship, that wonderful ship, now that’s the ship for me
She’s called the Queen Fairy and she’s quite a sight to see
The ship’s all manned by women, not a single bloke in sight
Except for me, the cabin boy, who tucks them in at night.
Now on that ship our boatswain’s name was “Foghorn” Fanny Pearl
Around the world you’ll not find such a playful, willing girl
But every time we’d go below she’d let forth such a howl
The Cap’n would yell, “There she blows! There’s whales off the bow”!
[CHORUS]
The gunner’s name was Charlotte Payne and she was full of spite
She kept a loaded blunderbuss in bed with her at night
And so she caught me as I climbed into her tiny bed
“My gun is cocked,” She grinned and said, “But I’ll cock yours instead”!
[CHORUS]
“Sunlight” Sally, our First Mate, a natural blonde is she
She suns in the nude upon the deck for all the crew to see
I rub her skin with slippery oils from her feet up to her neck
And when we make love I slip right off and slide across the deck
[CHORUS]
Then there’s our cook, and I might add, a truly filling dish.
She goes with wine, she goes with ale, she goes with fowl or fish.
When I’m hungry for a snack I slip right down below
And have myself a little bite of luscious Lucy Blow.
[CHORUS]
Our Captain, Young Colleen McBust, now she was best of all
She has two certain features just as large as cannonballs
Like two moons they’re big and round and alabaster white
And like all heavenly bodies, they’re sure to come out tonight!
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
