A ditty that Cliff used to sing more often in days when the Gris would quite down during softer songs, stories, and songs that required some attention to be paid to the story.<\/p>\n
A handsome young sailor to London came down,
\nHe’d been paid off his ship in old Liverpool town.
\nThey asked him his name and he answered them, “Quite,
\nI belong to a family called nine times a night.”<\/p>\n
Well a buxom young widow who still wore her weeds.
\nHer husband had left her his money and deeds.
\nResolved she was on her conjugal rights
\nAnd to soften her sorrows with nine times a night.<\/p>\n
So she’s called to her serving maids Ann and Amelia
\nTo keep a watch out for this wonderful sailor,
\nAnd if ever he happened to chance in their sight
\nTo bring her fond tidings of nine times a night.<\/p>\n
She was favored by fortune the very next day.
\nThese two giggling girls saw him coming their way!
\nThey’ve rushed up the stairs full of amorous delight,
\nCrying, “There comes that sailor with his nine times a night!”<\/p>\n
She’s jumped out of bed and she’s pulled on her clothes,
\nAnd straight to the hall door like lightening she goes.
\nShe’s looked him once over and gave him a smack,\u00a0\u00a0 (big kiss)
\nAnd the bargain was struck: no more sailing for Jack!<\/p>\n
The wedding was over, the bride tolled the bell.
\nJack trimmed her sails five times and that pleased her well!
\nShe vowed to herself she was satisfied quite,
\nBut she still gives sly hints about nine times a night.<\/p>\n
Says Jack, “My dear bride, you mistook me quite wrong;
\nI said to that family I did belong;
\nNine times a night’s a bit hard for a man.
\nI couldn’t do it myself, but me sister she can.”<\/p>\n
