Who’ve gone to sea in men-of-war, or whalers,
Until I spoke and said: “I know a lay
About a Spanish lady, old lang syne,
Who, as a sailor, wished to sail away—
The words are by another and not mine:”
THE LADY-SAILOR[[6]]
I’ll go in yon boat, my mother,
Oh yes! in yon boat I’ll go;
I’ll go with the mariner, mother,
And I’ll be a mariner too.
