Sea Lion Woman
 Sea Lion Woman / Sea Lion She drank coffee / Sea Lion She drank tea / Sea Lion And he gamble lie / Sea Lion
 Way down yonder / Sea Lion I'm going maul / Sea Lion And the rooster crow / Sea Lion and he got no lie / Sea Lion
 Sea lion woman / Sea Lion she drank coffee / Sea Lion She drank tea / Sea Lion And she gamble lie / Sea Lion
 Sea lion woman / Sea Lion she drank coffee / Sea Lion She drank tea / Sea Lion And a gamble lie / Sea Lion
