Fire Marengo
Lift him up and carry him along!
Fire Marengo, fire him away,
Lay him in the hold where he belongs!
Fire Marengo, fire him away!
Heave him high into the sky!
Fire Marengo, fire him away,
Lower him down and there he'll lie!
Fire Marengo, fire him away!
When I gets back from across the sea
Fire Marengo, fire him away,
Sally will you marry me?
Fire Marengo, fire him away!
Sally she's a pretty little craft;
Fire Marengo, fire him away,
She's sharp to the fore and rounded in the aft.
Fire Marengo, fire him away!
We'll all haul this load below.
Fire Marengo, fire him away,
We'll bust the blocks and away we'll go.
Fire Marengo, fire him away!
Screw the cotton, screw it down--
Fire Marengo, fire him away,
Let's get the hell back to Liverpool town!
Fire Marengo, fire him away!
Fire marengo, fire him away!
Fire Marengo, fire him away!
Fire marengo, fire him away!
Fire Marengo, fire him away!
