Tunie: Lukey's Boat

About

Lukey's boat is painted green,

Aha, me boys,

Lukey's boat is painted green,

The prettiest boat you ever seen.

Aha me boys a-riddle-I-day.

Lukey's boat's got a fine fore cutty,

And every seam is chinked with putty.

Lukey's boat's got high stop sails,

And she was planched with copper nails.

Oh, Lukey's boat got a high stopped jib

And a patent block to her foremast head,

I think, says Lukey, I'll make her bigger,

I'll load her down with a one-claw jigger.

Lukey's rolling out his grub,

One split pea in a ten-pound tub.

Oh, Lukey he sailed down the shore,

To catch some fish from Labrador.

Aha, says Lukey, the blinds are down,

My wife is dead and she's underground.

Aha, says Lukey, I don't care.

I'll get me another in the spring of the year.

Aha me boys a-riddle-I-day.
