Crown And Anchor 1920 Mr. Austin Rudd

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 20 May 2002

When I came home from sea, today,
my 'True Love' said to me:
"What about the money
you've been saving while at sea?"
When I got my senses, I said:
"Ain't you carrying on!
What about my money?
Shall I tell you where it's gone?"

"Crown and Anchor! Crown and Anchor!
Heiheio!
That's the game the sailors play,
when they get their 'dough'.
'Hearts of Oak' are all our ships,
And 'Oh! God bless the banker',
All the crew are 'Arts of Oak' as well,
All through 'Crown and Anchor!'"

"Crown and Anchor! Crown and Anchor!
Heiheio!
That's the game the sailors play,
when they get their 'dough'.
'Hearts of Oak' are all our ships,
And 'Oh! God bless the banker',
All the crew are 'Arts of Oak' as well,
All through 'Crown and Anchor!'"

"To see the price of things ashore
it mesmerises me,
When ev'rything's as 'cheap as dirt'
to sailors on the sea!
A pair of socks for tuppence and
when things are extra 'flat'
A pair of boots for fourpence
yes, and what's the cause of that?"

"Crown and Anchor! Crown and Anchor!
Heiheio!
That's the game the sailors play,
when they get their 'dough'.
'Hearts of Oak' are all our ships,
And 'Oh! God bless the banker',
All the crew are 'Arts of Oak' as well,
All through 'Crown and Anchor!'"

"Crown and Anchor! Crown and Anchor!
Heiheio!
That's the game the sailors play,
when they get their 'dough'.
'Hearts of Oak' are all our ships,
And 'Oh! God bless the banker',
All the crew are 'Arts of Oak' as well,
All through 'Crown and Anchor!'"

"They used to say a sailor
had a wife in ev'ry port,
and that's how Nelson lost his eye,
but nothing of the sort.
To keep two at a time
is all a sailor can afford,
But I bet I'd keep a harem
if They'd let me 'Run the Board."

"Crown and Anchor! Crown and Anchor!
Heiheio!
That's the game the sailors play,
when they get their 'dough'.
'Hearts of Oak' are all our ships,
And 'Oh! God bless the banker',
All the crew are 'Arts of Oak' as well,
All through 'Crown and Anchor!'"

"Crown and Anchor! Crown and Anchor!
Heiheio!
That's the game the sailors play,
when they get their 'dough'.
'Hearts of Oak' are all our ships,
And 'Oh! God bless the banker',
All the crew are 'Arts of Oak' as well,
All through 'Crown and Anchor!'"
