Traditional Nursery Songs. 57
There were comfits in the cabin, Barley-sugar in the hold.
There were fourteen little sailors,
All skipping on the deck, And each were little white mice,
With collars round their neck.
Their captain was a noble drake,
With jacket on his back, Who, as the ship went sailing on,
Sang quack, quack, quack.
At length arose a fearful storm Of wind, and hail, and rain ;
The golden masts were broken, The sails were torn in twain.
The fourteen little sailors were
All huddled on the decks, And could not think of any plan
Whereby to save their necks.
The captain he declared that they Must either drown or swim;
And they wept and pray'd him sorely, For they'd no help but him.
