I have slipped on board a Yankee ship

And her captain it is Burgees,

And they say that she's a floating hell.

\beginverse
|
|
I have sailed with Burgess once before,
|
|
And I think I know him well,
|

If a man's a salor he will get along,

If not then he's sure for hell.

Oh the sun is in the harbour love,
|
|
And I wish I could remain,
|

For I know it will be a long,long time,

Before I see you again.
