I mean the story of ‘Old Stand from Under.’ ”
STAND FROM UNDER!
I was sailing in a vessel a long time ago,
All the while dead against us the wind used to blow,
And it seemed as if aboard us that nothing would go right,
When over the Bahamas a-sailing by the night.
Chorus. By the night, by the night,
When over the Bahamas a-sailing by the night.
In the dark, up in the rigging, or somewhere on high,
“Hallo! Stand from under!” a voice used to cry;
