All Coiled Down
Cicely Fox Smith & Alan Fitzsimmonds
All coiled down and it's time for us to go
Every sail's furled in a neat, harbour stow
Another ship for us and for her another crew
So-long sailorman, good luck to you
A good berth I wish you in a ship well-found
With a decent crowd for'd and her gear all sound
Spars a man can trust when it's comin' on to blow
And no Bos'n bawlin' when it's your watch below
All coiled down and it's time for us to go
Every sail's furled in a neat, harbour stow
Another ship for us and for her another crew
So-long sailorman, good luck to you
Fun and friends I wish you 'til the pay's all gone
Pleasure while you spend it and contentment when it's done
A chest that's never empty when you go back to sea
And a better ship than she's been and a truer pal than me
All coiled down and it's time for us to go
Every sail's furled in a neat, harbour stow
Another ship for us and for her another crew
So-long sailorman, good luck to you
A good trade I wish you, and a fair landfall
With neither fog nor iceberg, nor long calm, nor squall
A pleasant port to come to, when the work's all through
So-long sailorman, good luck to you
All coiled down and it's time for us to go
Every sail's furled in a neat, harbour stow
Another ship for us and for her another crew
So-long sailorman, good luck to you
All coiled down and it's time for us to go
Every sail's furled in a neat, harbour stow
Another ship for us and for her another crew
So-long sailorman, good luck to you
