\nThinking over every plan
\nWhen in came Palmer in a hurry
\nTo ship us on the Bridget Ann<\/em>.chorus
\n<\/em>Chitty sehlong, shelong, shelah
\nHilo, chitty shelong, shelah.<\/li>\n
\nAnd finding him a nice young man
\nWe told him we could go a-fishing
\nIf he\u2019d ship us on the Ann<\/em>.<\/li>\n
\nDo your duty like a man
\nOil down the shrouds and rigging
\nAll on the board the Bridget Ann.<\/em><\/li>\n
\nRub it in on every strand
\nYou will stand upon the rigging
\nAll on board the Bridget Ann<\/em>.<\/li>\n
\nPlenty tobacco we had on hand
\nWhen we reached the gut of Canso
\nNarry a chew on the Bridget Ann<\/em>.<\/li>\n
\nThere lived the skipper\u2019s Doxy Ann
\nClear away, boys, get everything ready
\nTo lower a boat from the Bridget Ann.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
