Spanish Ladies (British Naval song), Helena Cinto

I found this song one day while I was searching for new songs to sing.
I thought, "wow, it's so beautiful" and I wanted to sing it...but I couldn't find the music so I had to play it and ... I had to sing it. :)
I really enjoyed doing the music and the harmonies :D

It's a British naval song from 1795. I'm Spanish and I'm sorry but I didn't know it and I thought it was a very beautiful song. Although It's sad...

I loved... I listened to many versions - Sarah Blasko and more - and I wanted to do mine... so I hope you enjoy as much as I did singing for you!

If you want to know more... : )

LYRICS
Farewell and adieu, to ye fair Spanish Ladies,
Farewell and adieu, ye ladies of Spain;
For we've received orders to sail for ol' England,
But we hope that it's short-lived, to see you again.

[Chorus}:
We will rant and we'll roar like true British sailors,
We'll rant and we'll rave across the salt sea.
Until we strike soundings in the channel of old
England;
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty five leagues.

We hove our ship to, with the wind at sou'west, boys
We hove our ship to, for it takes soundings clear;
At fifty-five fathoms, with a fine sandy bottom,
We filled our main topsail up channel did steer.

[Chorus]

The the signal was made for the grand fleet to anchor,
We put up our topsail and struck tacks and sheets;
We stood by our stoppers and bridled and spankered,
And anchored ahead of the noblest fleet.

[Chorus]

Let every man here drink up his full bumper,
Let every man here drink up his full bow;
And we will be jolly and drown melancholy,
Drink a health to each jovial of each true-hearted
soul.

[Chorus]

extra verses:

The first land we sighted was called the Dodman,
Next Rame Head off Plymouth, off Portsmouth the Wight;
We sailed by Beachy, by Fairlight and Dover,
And then we bore up for the South Foreland light.

[Chorus]

Then the signal was made for the grand fleet to anchor,
And all in the Downs that night for to lie;
Let go your shank painter, let go your cat stopper!
Haul up your clewgarnets, let tacks and sheets fly!
