Line 21: Line 21:




When I gets back to Sirroc town,
When I gets back to the old Brass Coast


I'll pass a line to little Sally Brown
I'll pass a line to the girl I missed most




Line 31: Line 31:




Sally, she's a pretty little craft,
My girl, she's a pretty little craft,


Hot shot to the fore and rounded in the aft
Hot shot to the fore and rounded in the aft

Trad. Recording by Madrigirls here


Lift him up and carry him along,

    Fire Marengo, fire away,

Send him down where he belongs,

    Fire Marengo, fire away.


Stow him down in the hold below,

One more turn and then we'll go


Ease him down and let him lay,

One more turn and then we're away


When I gets back to the old Brass Coast

I'll pass a line to the girl I missed most


I'll haul her high, I'll haul her low,

I'll bust her blocks and make her go


My girl, she's a pretty little craft,

Hot shot to the fore and rounded in the aft


Screw the cotton, screw it down

Let's get the hell from Sirroc town


Lift him up and carry him along,

Send him down where he belongs.
