Paddy Goes To Holyhead - The Annie B. lyrics

Come all you jolly sailor lads that ne′er went out to sea Of a ship that called the Annie B. I will sing in praise to thee She was a famous one-mast-ship, the pride of Sydney-Quay She carried a crew of a 102 a dog named Billy and me [chorus:] Hey hey ho and the winds do blow did I tell you girl I love you so? Hey hey ho I want you to know when I hear the whistle blow I have to go The skipper was an Irishman he hailed from West-Belfast And a dutchman was the sailor called the man behind the mast The navigator was a bum, his nose was red as tart Out mate was a small Russian guy, knew every pub on the chart [chorus] A prisoner was our cook before we sailed away He always served the whiskey pure 3 times and more a day The morning we left Sydney-Town our ship ran short of wind We had to get right out of the wet and eve′ryone shove behind [chorus] When going around the Silver-Reef a terrible storm now blew We tightened her sails with a horses reign and steered for Timbuktoo But out cargo shifted, "We′re done!" cried Captain Lee And a 102 sailors Billy and me jumped into the deep blue sea [chorus]
