Another gem from the mysterious William Fender who heard it ‘on board Nova Scotian, pumping ship, one of McCann’s from “cockney bloke”‘. The first two verses are from Fender but it’s so much fun to sing that I supplemented his with a few of my own and a few floaters.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. He says young maid will you come along with me
    \nAye, aye, aye, Bendigo<\/em>
    \nHe says young maid will you come along with me
    \nAye-oh!<\/em>
    \nHe says young maid will you come along with me
    \nTo the sunny shore of Amer-eye-kee.
    \nDown in those valleys down below aye-oh, aye-oh,<\/em>
    \nDown in those valleys down below!<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. She says young man I will will go along with ye
    \nTo the sunny shores of Amer-eye-kee.<\/li>\n
  3. And when they reached that sunny land
    \nHe asked his true love for her hand.<\/li>\n
  4. We\u2019re outward bound at the break of day
    \nWe\u2019re outward bound for Amer-eye-kee.<\/li>\n
  5. And when we reach that sunny shore
    \nThis lousy tub we\u2019ll see no more.<\/li>\n
  6. Heave and bust her is the cry
    \nA sailors wage is never high.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
