  1. Oh Ranzo was no sailor
    Ranzo, boys, Ranzo
    Oh Ranzo was no sailor
    Ranzo, boys, Ranzo.
  2. He could not do his duty
    He could not do his duty.
  3. They gave him four and twenty
    They gave him four and twenty.
  4. The captain being a good man
    He took him to the cabin.
  5. He taught him navigation
    And now he’s captain Ranzo.
