FIRE, MARINGO

Lift 'im up an' carry 'im a-long,
Refrain:  Fire, Ma-rin-go, fire 'im a-way, Yah!
Lay 'im in the hold where he be-long,
Refrain:  Fire, Ma-rin-go, fire 'im a-way!

Lay 'im down in the hold below...
'Tis time for us to roll an' go...

Ease 'im down an' let 'im lay...
Screw 'im in an' there he'll stay...

Shift that bale, an' screw it down...
Let's get back to Liverpool Town...

When I gets to Liverpool Town...
Gonna pass a line to little Sally Brown...

Sally Brown, she's a handy little craft...
Sharp up forward, rounded in the aft...

One more turn an' that'll do...
We's the bullies to kick 'er through...

Fire, Maringo, fire 'im away...
Fire, Maringo, fire 'im away...
