A sailor in the prairie
Das Chianti-Lied
Dead Calm
Die Schlange von Loch Ness
De Hamborger Veermaster
Een lütt Hus achtern Diek
I see a boat on the river
Kari waits for me
Kleine Seemannsbraut
Lady Passat
La Paloma
Lasst die Finger von den schönen Senoritas
Mary Ann
My bonny is over the ocean
Oh, Billy don't go ashore
Rolling Home
Shenandoah
Sloop John B.
Un denn seilt wi so langsom rund Kap Horn
Whisky for my Johnny
Wo de Ostseewellen trecken an den Strand

(Geh nicht an Land, oh nee Billy Boy ! )

und die Frau'n an Land blasen dir den Marsch,
ist dein Geld erst weg, bist du fix am aus
gutem Grund singen wir hier Heiko Fenns englischen Original-Text

Oh Billy Billy boy, don't go ashore
Oh Billy, don't go ashore

Pretty girls downtown call welcome you
when you’re money is spent they will laughing say adieu

If you stay on board you’ll save your pay
but you’ll wonder how soon ashore it goes away

In the Pub there waits an artful skipper
an' he takes you drunk on his rotten dirty clipper

In the boardinghouse they are cheating you
In the night they steal your hire cloth and shoe

When your ship next morn is goin' to sail
you will find yourself without money in the jail
