Oh, my name is Davy Lousteau I did sail, I did sail Oh, my name is Davy Lousteau I did sail And all my men were now lost All their lives had cost We did sail We did sail We did sail We were set down in open bay We were set down, were set down We were set down in open bay We were set down We were left a week and a man Never more to sail again Or to sail Or to sail Or to sail Our captain John Bedard He set sail, he set sail Yes, for Port Jackson he set sail I'll return men without fail But she foundered then again And went down And went down And went down We cured ten thousand skins For the fur, for the fur We cured ten thousand skins For the fur Brackish water, putrid sea We did all fall spoiled For to die For to die For to die Come all ye lads who sail Upon the sea, sail the sea Come all ye jacks who sail Upon the sea And all the schooner Gav'nor Bly Took up some who did not die Never sailed Never sailed Never sailed
