There was a ship, she sailed to Spain

O ho, roll and go!

There was a ship came home again

Tommy's on the topsail yard!

And what do you think was in her hold?

O ho, roll and go!

There was diamonds, there was gold

Tommy's on the topsail yard!

And what was in her lazarette?

O ho, roll and go!

Good split peas and bad bull meat

Tommy's on the topsail yard!

O, many a sailorman gets drowned

O ho, roll and go!

Many a sailorman gets drowned

Tommy's on the topsail yard!
