Paddy Goes To Holyhead - The Annie B. Lyrics
Of a ship that called the Annie B. I will sing in praise to theeShe was a famous one-mast-ship, the pride of Sydney-QuayShe carried a crew of a 102 a dog named Billy and me[chorus:]Hey hey ho and the winds do blowdid I tell you girl I love you so?Hey hey ho I want you to knowwhen I hear the whistle blow I have to goThe skipper was an Irishman he hailed from West-BelfastAnd a dutchman was the sailor called the man behind the mastThe navigator was a bum, his nose was red as tartOut mate was a small Russian guy, knew every pub on the chart[chorus]A prisoner was our cook before we sailed awayHe always served the whiskey pure 3 times and more a dayThe morning we left Sydney-Town our ship ran short of windWe had to get right out of the wet and eve?ryone shove behind[chorus]When going around the Silver-Reef a terrible storm now blewWe tightened her sails with a horses reign and steered for TimbuktooBut out cargo shifted, "We?re done!" cried Captain LeeAnd a 102 sailors Billy and me jumped into the deep blue sea[chorus]
