[A life on the ocean wave]
A life on the ocean wave,
A home on the rolling deep,
For the spark that nature gave
I have there the right to keep.
A home on the rolling deep,
For the spark that nature gave
I have there the right to keep.
They give me the cat-o'-nine
Whenever I go ashore.
Then ho! for the flashing brine—
I'm a natural commodore!
Whenever I go ashore.
Then ho! for the flashing brine—
I'm a natural commodore!
Dodle.
