Paddy Goes To Holyhead - The Annie B.

Of a ship that called the Annie B. I will sing in praise to thee

She was a famous one-mast-ship, the pride of Sydney-Quay

She carried a crew of a 102 a dog named Billy and me

[chorus:]

Hey hey ho and the winds do blow

did I tell you girl I love you so?

Hey hey ho I want you to know

when I hear the whistle blow I have to go

The skipper was an Irishman he hailed from West-Belfast

And a dutchman was the sailor called the man behind the mast

The navigator was a bum, his nose was red as tart

Out mate was a small Russian guy, knew every pub on the chart

[chorus]

A prisoner was our cook before we sailed away

He always served the whiskey pure 3 times and more a day

The morning we left Sydney-Town our ship ran short of wind

We had to get right out of the wet and eve?ryone shove behind

[chorus]

When going around the Silver-Reef a terrible storm now blew

We tightened her sails with a horses reign and steered for Timbuktoo

But out cargo shifted, "We?re done!" cried Captain Lee

And a 102 sailors Billy and me jumped into the deep blue sea

[chorus]
