An’ I love to rock in a boat, don’t you?
Yes, I love the pranks o’ the handsum sea,
An’ the handsum things what it sez to me;
An’ I love its flash at the peep o’ day,
When the sails is fillin’ an’ goin’ away;
An’ I allers sez to myself, sez I,
As they nose an’ dip in the mornin’ sky,
“How I’d love to go!” An’ I would, ’tis true,
For I love to sail in a boat, don’t you?
I love the slide o’ the slantin’ deck,
