Lyrics:

While cruising ''?round yarmouth one day for a spreeI spied a fair damsel the wind blowing freeI''m a fast going clipper me kind sir says sheI''m ready for cargo me hold is quite freeSinging fal-der-all laddie right fal-der-all dayFal-der-all laddie i fal-der-all dayWhich country she came from she didn''t show muchShe might have been english or german or dutchA neat little packet all nicely endowedShe was round in the quarters and bluff in the bowSinging fal-der-all laddie right fal-der-all dayFal-der-all laddie i fal-der-all dayI threw out me hauser and took her in towAnd yardarm to yardarm a towing we''d goShe lowered her forsails, her staysails and allWith her lily white hand on me reef tackle fallSinging fal-der-all laddie right fal-der-all dayFal-der-all laddie i fal-der-all daySays i pretty fair maid it''s time to give o''erFor ''?twixt wind and water you''ve run me ashoreMe shot locker''s empty and me powder''s all spentI can''t fire a shot for it''s choked at the ventSinging fal-der-all laddie right fal-der-all dayFal-der-all laddie i fal-der-all dayHere''s luck to the girl with the red curly locksHere''s luck to the girl who ran jack on the rocksHere''s luck to the doctor who eased all his painHe squared his main yards he''s a cruising againSinging fal-der-all laddie right fal-der-all dayFal-der-all laddie i fal-der-all daySinging fal-der-all laddie right fal-der-all dayFal-der-all laddie i fal-der-all day
