PIPE ALL HANDS. |
 | Mirth and Metre |  |
PIPE ALL HANDS.
We three jolly tars be,Such odd fish as tars seldom caught are;
A sort of amphiberous animals we,
Who live by land and by water.
On shore we drinks, fiddles, and dances away,
At sea fights all manner of force,
And as how that we conquers, one needn't say,
Because you know that comes of course.
176
Dance and sing, and all be groggy;
Pipe all hands, care's anchor weigh,
With a fol, lol, lol, and a yo! yo! yea!
