Lyrics

Our ship, she was rigged and ready for sea And all of her sailors were the fishes to be Then blow ye winds westerly, westerly, blow! Our ship is full rigged and steady she goes (Blow ye winds) (Blow ye winds) Well, first came the codfish with his knuckle head, He jumped in the chains and began heaving lead Then blow ye winds westerly, westerly, blow! Our ship is full rigged and steady she goes (Blow ye winds) (Blow ye winds) And next came the flounder that lies on the ground Saying "Damn your eyes knucklehead, mind how you sound!" Then blow ye winds westerly, westerly, blow! Our ship is full rigged and steady she goes (Blow ye winds) (Blow ye winds) And then came the porpoise with his pointy snout. He went to the wheel shouting, "Ready about!" Then blow ye winds westerly, westerly, blow! Our ship is full rigged and steady she goes (Blow ye winds) (Blow ye winds) And then came the sprat, he was smallest of all. He jumped on the poop crying, "Maintops'l haul!" Then blow ye winds westerly, westerly, blow! Our ship is full rigged and steady she goes (Blow ye winds) (Blow ye winds) At last came the losbter with prickly back He said, "I'll go forward and board the maintack." Then blow ye winds westerly, westerly, blow! Our ship is full rigged and steady she goes Then blow ye winds westerly, westerly, blow! Our ship is full rigged and steady she goes
