21 Men
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
21 men are entering a ship to sail the sea
They're waving me goodbye
Nine of them from Britain, whiskey in their hands
A shanty in their lips like a happy sigh
No matter where you might go
I will follow you, I will follow you
I will follow you to Ireland or Scotland
Believe me I will do
Believe me I will do
21 men are entering a ship to sail the sea
On their face a happy smile
Four of them from China, rice wine in china cups
Looks like they're back home in just a while
No matter where you might go
I will follow you, I will follow you
I will follow you to Jiangxi, Hubei,
Even Guizhou even Guizhou
21 men are entering a ship to sail the sea
I can see them dance
Three of them from America, Caipirinha to drink
If I joined I would have a better chance
No matter where you might go
I will follow you, I will follow you
I will follow you to Brasil, Argentina
Even Peru even Peru
21 men are entering a ship to sail the sea
They look very smart
Five of them from Russia, vodka in their bags
Me I would have a pounding heart
No matter where you might go
I will follow you, I will follow you
I will follow you to Sibiria or Letland
Beleive me I will do
Beleive me I will do
21 men are entering a ship to sail the sea
One man is standing on the bay
I guess there's nothing left for me to say
One man is going here to stay
No matter where you may go
I will follow you, I will follow you
