Crying, “Smash, man, lower th’ sail!

Smash, man, lower the sail,

Or else to the bottom we’ll go:”

The keel and a’ hands wad been lost,

Had it not been for Jemmy Munro.

Fal lal, &c.

The gale blew stranger an’ stranger,

When they cam beside the Muck House,

The skipper cry’d out—“Jemmy Swinger,”

But still was as fear’d as a mouse;
