HEAVEN'S A BAR
(Written by Dorset's Tim Laycock & recorded by him with the New Scorpion Band_

HEAVEN'S A BAR (DOWN BY THE DOCK) -
Written by Dorset's Tim Laycock and recorded by him with the New Scorpion Band.

Chorus:
Heaven's a Bar down by the dock,
Where the liquor is free and they keeps a great stock.
There's always a place, always a smile
For a sailor come home from sea.

The girls, they are beauties, they dance and they sing,
They'll treat an old tar like a Lord or a King.
Heaven's a Bar down by the dock,
Where there's liquor for all and it's free.

(Chorus)

There in the snug, drinking with me,
Shipmates returned from seven salt seas,
Tarry tailed tars, gold buckled shoes,
The cream and the dregs of the crew.
Just sailors ashore with a dream in their eye,
Who've seen the world's end, where the sea meets the sky.
Visions remain, wonders recalled
By the trinkets that hang on the wall.

(Chorus)

Late in the night clouds hurry past,
The moon winks and goes, the doors are barred fast,
Charts are laid out, contraband found,
The crossed bones marked out on the ground.
The figurehead does it, she never gets tired,
She beckons a breeze from her berth by the fire.
Songs roll around, waves hit the bar,
Till the bottles wash up on the shore.

William Pint & Felicia Dale share this song with the participants in their "Chorus Songs" workshop at Portland FolkMusic Society's 2012 Singtime Frolics music camp.
