Congo River (with Tommy Makem)

Oh was you ever on the Congo River

Blow boys blow

Black Fever makes the white man shiver

Blow me bullyboys blow

A Yankee ship came down the river

Blow boys blow

Her masts and yards they shone like silver

Blow me bullyboys blow

So blow me boys and blow forever

Blow boys blow

Why blow me down that Congo River

Blow me bullyboys blow

Now what do you think she had for cargo

Blow boys blow

Why black sheep that had run the embargo

Blow me bullyboys blow

Now what do you think they had for dinner

Blow boys blow

Why a monkeys heart and a donkeys liver

Blow me bullyboys blow

So blow me boys and blow forever

Blow boys blow

Why blow me down that Congo River

Blow me bullyboys blow

Now yonder comes the Arrow packet

Blow boys blow

She fires her guns can't you hear the racket

Blow me bullyboys blow

Now who do you think was the skipper of her

Blow boys blow

Why Bully Hayes the sailor of her

Blow me bullyboys blow

So blow me boys and blow forever

Blow boys blow

Why blow me down that Congo River

Blow me bullyboys blow
