Steeleye Span - Tonight's the Night lyrics



Northerly bobbing up and down
Along with all the others.
Half of them have cousins in the town,
And the other half are bothers.

Chorus:
For tonight, tonight they're all ashore.
When they've had enough to drink they'll drink some more.
That's what the old town's for.
Tonight's the night for drinkin'.

Southerly, and it's blowing up a gale
From Portsmouth down to Dover.
There they are all sopping up the ale until the storm is over.

Chorus

Easterly, and it's anybody's guess,
And a few of them are out there hauling.
But most of them, they take a little rest
When they hear Lord Nelson calling.

Chorus

Westerly, and nothing but the sound
Of a thousand seagulls screaming.
It's thrsty work, that bobbing up and down
So it's homeward bound they're steaming.

Chorus

Northerly bobbing up and down
Along with all the others.
Half of them have cousins in the town,
And the other half are bothers.

For tonight, tonight they're all ashore.
When they've had enough to drink they'll drink some more.
Who ever said Lord Nelson's dead?
Tonight's the night for drinkin'!
