  • Oh, there be flowers in Bermuda
    Beauty lies on every hand
    And there be laughter, ease and drink for every man
    But there is no joy for me
    For when we reached the wretched Nightingale
    "Oh, Captain, are we all for drowning?"
    Came the cry from all the crew
    "The boats be smashed! How are we all then to be saved?
    They are stove in through and through!"
    "Oh, are ye brave and hardy collier-men

    The Captain's gig still lies before ye whole and sound
    It shall carry all o' we."
    (Here we go!)

    [Chorus]
    He was the Captain of the Nightingale
    Twenty-one days from Clyde in coal
    Blax Blah
    Blax Blah
    He could smell the flowers of Bermuda in the gale
    When he died on the North Rock shoal

    [Verse 3]
    But when the crew were all assembled
    And the gig prepared for sea
    'Twas seen there were but eighteen places to be manned
    Nineteen mortal souls were we
    But cries the Captain "Now do not delay
    Nor do ye spare a thought for me
    My duty is to save you all now, if I can
    See ye return quick as can be."
    So come all you fine young fellows
    Who’ve been beaten to the ground
    This western life’s no paradise
    But it’s better than lying down
    Oh the streets aren’t clean, and there’s nothing green
    And the hills are dirty brown
    But the government dole will rot your soul
    Back there in your home town
    There’s self-respect and a steady cheque
    In this refinery
    You will miss the green and the woods and streams
    And the dust will fill your nose

    But you’ll be free, and just like me
    An idiot, I suppose
    So I bid farewell to the Eastern town
    I never more will see
    But work I must so I eat this dust
    And breathe refinery
    Oh I miss the green and the woods and streams
    And I don’t like cowboy clothes
    But I like being free, and that makes me
    An idiot, I suppose
    1 John 2:14-17
    "14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

    15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

    16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

    17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."

    Man when God calls someone strong you know they are strong
    1 John 2:12-14
    "I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
    I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father."
    1 John 2:10-11
    "10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
    11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes."
    For over your mountains, across the raging Maine
    Through Gibraltar, to France and to Spain
    Get a feather in your bonnet lad, and a kilt upon your knee
    Enlist me bonnie laddie, and come awa with me
    Oh laddie ye dinna ken the danger that yer in.
    If yer horses was to fleg, and yer owsen was to rin,
    This greedy ole farmer, he wouldna pay yer fee.
    Sae list my bonnie laddie and come awa wi' me
    And it's over the mountain and over the Main,
    Through Gibralter, to France and Spain.
    Pit a feather tae your bonnet, and a kilt aboon your knee,
    Enlist my bonnie laddie and come awa with me.
    Twa recruiting sergeants came frae the Black Watch
    Tae markets and fairs, some recruits for tae catch.
    But a' that they 'listed was forty and twa:
    Enlist my bonnie laddie an' come awa.

    Chorus:
    And it's over the mountain and over the Main,
    Through Gibralter, to France and Spain.
    Pit a feather tae your bonnet, and a kilt aboon your knee,
    Enlist my bonnie laddie and come awa with me.
    1 Corinthians 1:18-24
    "18For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

    21For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God."
