Little Boy Billie Lyrics by Bounding Main

Lost at Sea

0

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 Billie
And also Little Boy Billie
And when they reached the broad Atlantic
And when they reached the broad Atlantic
They had nothing left but one split pea
They had nothing left but one split pea
Said Gorging Jack to Guzzling Jimmy
Said Gorging Jack to Guzzling Jimmy
"We've naught to eat - let's eat Billie"
"We've naught to eat - let's eat Billie"
O Little Boy Billie, we're going to kill and eat you
O Little Boy Billie, we're going to kill and eat you
So undo the top button of your little chemie
So undo the top button of your little chemie
O may I say my catechism
O may I say my catechism
That my dear mother taught to me
That my dear mother taught to me
And when he reached the Eleventh Commandment
And when he reached the Eleventh Commandment
He cried "Yo Ho for land I see!"
He cried "Yo Ho for land I see!"
I see Jerusalem and Madagascar
I see Jerusalem and Madagascar
And North and South America
And North and South America
I see the British fleet at anchor
I see the British fleet at anchor
And our Lord Nelson, K.C.B
And our Lord Nelson, K.C.B
They hung Gorging Jack and Guzzling Jimmy
They hung Gorging Jack and Guzzling Jimmy
But they made an admiral of Little Boy Billie
But they made an admiral of Little Boy Billie
Don't go to sea
(Except for me)
