  1. We were sitting in the parlor
    \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
  2. We went down to see the skipper
    \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
  3. If you want to go a-fishing
    \nDo your duty like a man
    \nOil down the shrouds and rigging
    \nAll on the board the Bridget Ann.<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. Here\u2019s the tar, now take the bucket
    \nRub it in on every strand
    \nYou will stand upon the rigging
    \nAll on board the Bridget Ann<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  5. When we left old Cape Ann harbor
    \nPlenty tobacco we had on hand
    \nWhen we reached the gut of Canso
    \nNarry a chew on the Bridget Ann<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  6. We stopped awhile in the Gut of Canso
    \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":"
