Lyrics of The North Atlantic Squadron by Stompin' Tom Connors
chorus
Away, away with fife and drum
Full of the devil and navy rum
R-r-rump-a-tum-a-tum-a-tum, here we come
The North Atlantic Squadron
verse
All the girls in Cherry Town
The boat was in and they all came down
We took 'em aboard and showed 'em around
The North Atlantic Squadron
verse
The cabin boy, the cabin boy
The dirty little nipper
He stole a pearl from every girl
And planted them on the skipper
chorus
Away, away with fife and drum
Full of the devil and navy rum
R-r-rump-a-tum-a-tum-a-tum, here we come
The North Atlantic Squadron
verse
All the girls in Harbor John
They lined the street beside the pond
They love to get their clutches on
The North Atlantic Squadron
verse
The engineer, the engineer
He loved to play the clarinet
But after the fight the other night
The second mate was wearin' it
chorus
Away, away with fife and drum
Full of the devil and navy rum
R-r-rump-a-tum-a-tum-a-tum, here we come
The North Atlantic Squadron
verse
All the girls in Harbor Jacks
They're waitin' down beside the tracks
Tonight the skirts are gonna attack
The North Atlantic Squadron
verse
The Captain had a talkin' bird
He took him out to the party
But all we heard from out of the bird
Was, "Give us another one Marty"
chorus
Away, away with fife and drum
Full of the devil and navy rum
R-r-rump-a-tum-a-tum-a-tum, here we come
The North Atlantic Squadron
verse
All the girls around the bay
They came to hear the music play
We played to them all and sailed away
The North Atlantic Squadron
verse
Now all the boys are gone to war
And all the girls are on the shore
And they wave good-bye forever more
To the North Atlantic Squadron
chorus
Away, away with fife and drum
Full of the devil and navy rum
R-r-rump-a-tum-a-tum-a-tum, here we come
The North Atlantic Squadron
chorus
Away, away with fife and drum
Full of the devil and navy rum
R-r-rump-a-tum-a-tum-a-tum, here we come
The North Atlantic Squadron
