The big ship sails on the alley alley oh,The alley alley oh,the alley alley oh;
The big ship sails on the alley alley oh,On the last day of September.
歌词全文
The big ship sails on the ally-ally-oh
The ally-ally-oh, the ally-ally-oh
Oh, the big ship sails on the ally-ally-oh
On the last day of September.
The captain said it will never, never do
Never, never do, never, never do
The captain said it will never, never do
On the last day of September.
The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea
The bottom of the sea, the bottom of the sea
The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea
On the last day of September.
We all dip our heads in the deep blue sea
The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea
We all dip our heads in the deep blue sea
On the last day of September.
歌曲来源及背景: 歌曲节奏很适合跳绳,孩子在跳绳游戏中常常唱念此歌曲或童谣,据传与Kevin Dinnin有关。歌曲节奏很适合跳绳。歌词中'big ships' 是寻找歌曲源头的的关键。 曼彻斯特通海运河(Manchester Ship Canal)1894年通航的连接英国赤郡的伊斯特姆(Eastham)与曼彻斯特市的水道。此运河使大型远洋轮可以进入曼彻斯特,河长58公里(36哩),宽14~24公尺(45~80呎),深约9公尺(28~30呎),有5道船闸。可能是这首歌创作的源头。
