🎶 Steer clear of fat policemen, you’ll find it’ll pay 🎶
🎶 And I’ll drink whisky all day long 🎶
🎶 When the music sets them prancing how they fling their skirts about 🎶
🎶 Haul on the bowline, the bully ship’s a-rollin’ 🎶
🎶 Oh, my true love she was beautiful, my true love she was fair 🎶
🎶 Somebody-O, somebody-O 🎶
🎶 O rivers, rivers, rivers are rolling 🎶
🎶 I shook her round old Gravesend town 🎶
🎶 But hanging is so funny 🎶
🎶 O Shenandoah, I love your daughter 🎶
🎶 O Shenandoah, I long to hear you 🎶
🎶 Stowing sugar in the hold below 🎶
🎶 When she dived down below 🎶
🎶 Every day it was scrub and grease her 🎶
🎶 I chased those pretty girls two at a time 🎶
🎶 We could keep to the coast but we’re damned if we do 🎶
🎶 Rolling down to old Maui 🎶
🎶 Oh the bully boat’s a-comin’ down the river she’s a-bowlin’ 🎶
🎶 Away for Rio 🎶
🎶 Ze lieten er geen traan 🎶
🎶 Fire at the capstan, fire at the mast 🎶
🎶 Haul her away! 🎶
🎶 And North and South Amerikee 🎶
🎶 Railroad navvy with his sea boots on 🎶
🎶 But for finding a way to spend your pay there’s none like Gosport Nan 🎶
