Can you go back to your home town and make that girl your wife,
And clasp your mother in your arms and know you have that right?
Now these are the questions I would ask, so, shipmates, do your part,
Think of the road you’ve traveled and answer from your heart.

A Sailor’s Delight
By HAROLD TAYLOR
When I was young and handsome,
It was always my delight
To go to balls and dances
