Rumor di Mare - Little Boy Billee Lyrics

There were three men of Bristol City
There were three men of Bristol City
They stole a ship and went to sea
They stole a ship and went to sea
There was Gorging Jack and Guzzling Jimmy
There was Gorging Jack and Guzzling Jimmy
And also Little Boy Billee
And also Little Boy Billee
They stole a tin of captain's biscuits And one large bottle of whiskey
But when they reached the broad Atlantic They had nothing left but one split pea
Said Gorging Jack to Guzzling Jimmy "We've naught to eat - let's eat Billee
O Little Boy Billee we'll kill and eat yur
So undo the top button of your little chemie"
"O may I say my catechism
That my dear mother taught to me?"
But when he reached the Eleventh Commandment He cried "Yo Ho for land I see!
I see Jerus'lem and Madagascar
And North and South Amerikee
I see the British fleet at anchor And our Lord Nelson KCB"
They hung Gorging Jack and Guzzling Jimmy
They hung Gorging Jack and Guzzling Jimmy
They made an admiral of Little Boy Billee
They made an admiral of Boy Billee
