Whissendine

Flowers by the water

When daylight's gone we boarded down

I helped you with your letter

At dawn the one that fought you mine

I helped you like a brother

Sail on like I beat you round

I form my rows along

Delay down the features

On my way down

On my way down

On my way down

On my way down

Drank lines on the forum

Bore me on the four wheel ground

I delay like the letter

Daylight's gone we boarded down

I helped you on the water

She may ride the four winds down

I tamed you with the prevalence

Of seaweed on the beaches

On my way down

On my way down

On my way down

On my way down

On my way down

On my way down

On my way down

On my way down

What's in the bottle a-standing there?

I'll tell thee: gin!

But if thou wants thy grog, I mun go for it

Down to the inn

Nay, for I be my hand lad

But though thou was ever so dry

Thou gets no gin from the bottle there

And I'll tell thee why

Me and thy sister was married

When were it? Back end of June

Ten years sin

And we agreed as well as a fiddly tune

I could fettle and clump old boots and shoes

With the best on them all

As far as from Thursby-Thurn

Up to Harmsby and Hutterby Hall

We was busy as busy the bloom

And as happy as heart could think

And then the babby were born

And then I takes to the drink
