Her gallant ship, the

Plymouth's
G

The pitcher at the foremast's head,

for she was outward bound

We were waiting there for orders

To send us far from home
Our orders came for

We prepared for heavy gales

And very soon our killick dropped into

The pretty girls came round and flocked,

I solemnly declare
They're far before the

For they love a jolly sailor

And have a jovial spree
G

And when your money is all gone
D

They're not like the

That'll pawn and sell your clothes.
