34 Songs and Ballads
3 'T was the twentieth day of April
We left the town of Lee; Bern' full of fun and frolicsome, We jogged on merrily,
4 Until we arrived at Medway
Late in the e-ve-nin' To stop that night and enjoy ourselves, When all hands did begin!
5 The landlord then in one of his fits,
Like a demon did appear, (With eyeballs fierce and glaring, He would fill your heart with fear).
6 He ordered us to stop our noise
Or quit his house straightway. An' he'd keep no more an open door In that one-horse town, Medway.
7 So early the next morning
Our employer, he did say: "Come now, my boys, get ready, For we must haste away."
8 We marched along in single file,
And good time we did make Until we arrive at a logging camp At Millinocket Lake.
9 And some being tired and weary
Lay down and went to sleep, While others, being wide awake, Happened a watch to keep. |
