Poor sailor coming back from the wars - All is fine!
(Repeat first line in each verse as chorus)
One foot shod, the other nude,
"Poor sailor, from whence come ye?" - All is fine!
"Madame, I have come home from the wars - All is fine!
He drank and he sang,
But the lovely hostess cried - All is fine!
The gallant sailor drinks the wine - All is fine!
He drank and he sang,
But the lovely hostess cried - All is fine!
"What is the matter with you, lovely hostess - All is fine!
Are you sorry for your white wine
That the sailor is drinking" - All is fine!
"It is not my wine that I regret - All is fine!
It's because I've lost my husband,
Mister, he looked like you" - All is fine!
"Ah, tell me, my lovely hostess - All is fine!
Didn't you have two children by him -
And now you have four" - All is fine!
"When they wrote and told me the news - All is fine!
That he was dead and buried,
I married again" - All is fine!
The gallant sailor drank his wine - All is fine!
Without thanks and sorrowful,
Went back to his ship - All is fine!
