Press Gang

歌词：

　　Well as I were a walking a London Street

　　A press gang there I chanced to meet

　　They asked me if I'd join the fleet

　　Say other shipmates tell me true

　　What kind of treatment they gives to you

　　That I may know before I go

　　Well the first thing they did they took me in hand

　　They flogged me with the tar of a strand

　　They flogged me till I could not stand

　　Then they hung me up by my two thumb

　　They flogged me till the blood did run

　　And that's the uses they gave to me

　　Well I had a wife her name was Grey

　　Were her that led me to shocking delay

　　Were her that caused me to go away

　　But if ever I get me feet on shore

　　To see them London girls once more

　　I'll never go to sea no more...

背景：

　　"From medieval times, the English crown claimed the power to press able-bodied subjects into the navy for the defense of the realm. With the passage of time, the power was abused and the press gang, invading the small towns and roaming the countryside, became a truly feared 'tradition', as witnessed by the scores of press gang songs. In 1853 the long service system was introduced and the need for press gangs virtually disappeared."
