The Irish Rovers - Cruising 'round Yarmouth lyrics

While cruising ‘round yarmouth one day for a spree I spied a fair damsel the wind blowing free I'm a fast going clipper me kind sir says she I'm ready for cargo me hold is quite free Singing fal-der-all laddie right fal-der-all day Fal-der-all laddie i fal-der-all day Which country she came from she didn't show much She might have been english or german or dutch A neat little packet all nicely endowed She was round in the quarters and bluff in the bow Singing fal-der-all laddie right fal-der-all day Fal-der-all laddie i fal-der-all day I threw out me hauser and took her in tow And yardarm to yardarm a towing we'd go She lowered her forsails, her staysails and all With her lily white hand on me reef tackle fall Singing fal-der-all laddie right fal-der-all day Fal-der-all laddie i fal-der-all day Says i pretty fair maid it's time to give o'er For ‘twixt wind and water you've run me ashore Me shot locker's empty and me powder's all spent I can't fire a shot for it's choked at the vent Singing fal-der-all laddie right fal-der-all day Fal-der-all laddie i fal-der-all day Here's luck to the girl with the red curly locks Here's luck to the girl who ran jack on the rocks Here's luck to the doctor who eased all his pain He squared his main yards he's a cruising again Singing fal-der-all laddie right fal-der-all day Fal-der-all laddie i fal-der-all day Singing fal-der-all laddie right fal-der-all day Fal-der-all laddie i fal-der-all day
