| Please let me down again. |
| I was fixing my mother’s chimney
|
| Leave me alone, release me back into the ocean
|
| You’ll stay with me, you’ll stay with me
|
| I’ll head to shore when I’m good and ready
|
| You’ll stay with me, you’ll stay with me
|
| I’ll stay and fish 'til I’m good and ready
|
| First joke: kick your loyal dog
|
| Second joke: trip over the hummock
|
| Third joke: embrace your cheating wife
|
| Release me back into the ocean
|
| I’ve got a scret. |
| I will reveal it to you
|
| Just lt me down. |
| I will reveal it to you
|
| I’ll take you down my friend. |
| Take you down to the ocean
|
| Just tell me why you laughed. |
| Just tell me why you laughed thee times
|
| Dig up the hummock that you tripped over
|
| And under it you’ll find something to make you change your mind
|
| Take me back down to the ocean
|
| I’ll take you down my friend, take you down to the ocean
|
| You told me why you laughed. |
| You told me where to find the gold
|
| The time is well remembered when Marbendill laughed of yore
|
| How fawning sweet the mistress when her man came ashore
|
| Kissing him and fondling, perfidious to the core
|
| The foolish man distrusted and kicked his dog, therefore
|
| Gold!
|
| You have done a good deed
|
| I will reward you duly
|
| Keep your eyes open
|
| And seize the opportunity |
