The Annie B. Lyrics

Come all you jolly sailor lads that ne'er went out to seaof a ship called the Annie B. I will sing in praise to theeshe was a famous one-mast-strip the pride of Sidney-Quayshe carried a crew of 102 a dog named Billy and meHey hey ho and the winds do blowdid I tell you girl I love you soHey hey ho I want you to knowwhen I hear the whistle blowI have to go.The skipper was an Irishman he trailed from West-Belfastand a dutchman was the sailor called the man behind the mastthe navigator was a bum his nose was red as tartour mate was a small Russian guy knew ev'ry pub on the chartHey hey ho and the winds do blowdid I tell you girl I love you soHey hey ho I want you to knowwhen I hear the whistle blowI have to go.A prisoner was our cook before we sailed awayhe always served the whiskey pure three times and more a daythe morning we left Sidney-Town our ship ran short of windwe had to get right out of the wet and ev'ryone shove behind.Hey hey ho and the winds do blowdid I tell you girl I love you soHey hey ho I want you to knowwhen I hear the whistle blowI have to go.When going around the Silver Reef a terrible storm now blewwe tightened her sails with a horses´ reign and steered for Timbuktoobut our cargo shifted we're done cried Cpatain Leeand a 102 sailors Billy and me jumped into the deep blue seaHey hey ho and the winds do blowdid I tell you girl I love you soHey hey ho I want you to knowwhen I hear the whistle blowI have to go.REPEAT 2x
