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 b-m, 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]]
