You darling girls are bagadoos who live along the shore.Tis little do you think or know what sailors do endure.Or if you did you'd treat them with more respect than before.You never would go with a landloper while sailors are ashore.Oh those Penobscot cowboys will tell you girls fine tales.Of all the hardships they endure when they are in the cornfields.They'll feed their hens and punch their pigs and make their mothers roar.While we like jovial hearted lads go to the bay shalor.On board of the schooner Fred Dunbar well found in fishing gear.We crowded on our canvas for Greensland and we did steer.When we arrived at anchor the sun was setting low.T'was there we shipped young Stinson and Captain Mooterlo.When we arrived at Portmagrave we hauled in for our salt.We took our little fiddler shore to have a little waltz.There was twelve of us when we started our songs through the woods did roar.When we arrived I was surprised I could not count but four.On the first day of September brought off Cape Mardot.We struck a squall from the south southeast which broke her boom in two.So gallantly she weathered it and it was fine to see.Her walk to the windward mainsail down bound out for Marguerite.On the last day of September I will remember well.What we poor sailors do endure no tongue can ever tell.The winds grew strong the seas grew rough in torrents fell the rain.I never saw such a night as that and I hope I shan't again.You darling girls a bag of deuce the time is drawing nigh.When you will see the stars and stripes from our main tops will fly.Get ready gal and lasses put on your other gown.For soon you'll see the Fred Dunbar come sailing up to town.And now our voyage is over and we are safe ashore.With our pockets full of greenbacks and we've earned to the bay shalor.So merrily we'll dance and sing as we have done before.And when our money is all spent we'll plow the old bay for more.And when our money is all spent we'll plow the old bay for more.And when our money is all spent we'll plow the old bay for more.And when our money is all spent we'll plow the old bay for more.And when our money is all spent we'll plow the old bay for more.
