The crew stood hesitating,
Their hearts were staunch and true;
With tear-dimmed eyes spoke up the mate,
“Sir, we will die with you!”
The captain cried, “What! Mutiny!
I am the captain here!
So launch the boats and pull away,
And think of your children dear.
Good-bye, my lads, good-bye!
Good-bye, my lads, good-bye!”—Chorus.
