1. The Sailor's Hornpipe
Traditional Irish Tune
2/2 Time
Oh, a sailor's life is the life for me,
How I love to sail o'er the bounding sea.
And I never, never, ever do a thing about the weather,
For the weather never ever does a thing for me!
Oh, a sailor's life is the life for me,
Tiddle-ee-um pom pom, deedle dum dum dee.
2. Jingle Bells
written by James Pierpont in 1857
2/2 Time
Dashing through the snow,
In a one horse open sleigh,
O'er the fields we go,
Dashing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring,
Making spirits bright,
Oh what fun it is to sing,
A sleighing song tonight.
Refrain
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh.
3. There Is a Tavern in the Town
Old Cornish Air
2/2 Time
There is a tavern in the town, in the town,
And there my true love sits him down, sits him down,
And drinks his wine mid laughter free,
And never, never thinks of me.
