Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEEB FGHGIBEEB AJKJDBLLB FMNMNBJJB| I nigh drops dead the bo'sun said | A |
| When the gist of things I grip | B |
| In the land by these 'ere Southern seas | C |
| As I seen on my long last trip | B |
| They seems a joke them curious folk | D |
| Wot bides at the blue sea's lip | B |
| Whose wealth is made in a world wide trade | E |
| Landlubbers all wot seems afraid | E |
| For they ain't got a deep sea ship | B |
| - | |
| No they ain't got a deep sea ship they ain't | F |
| For their 'earts ain't with the blue | G |
| Tho' they claims the seed of the tough sea breed | H |
| Like Drake an' me an' you | G |
| On their isle sea girt they farms the dirt | I |
| Of a fertile coastal strip | B |
| But they seems afraid of a sea borne trade | E |
| An' the hauls their British fathers made | E |
| For they ain't got a deep sea ship | B |
| - | |
| Sea born an' bred the bo'sun said | A |
| As man an' boy I been | J |
| Nigh every place on earth's broad face | K |
| An' all the seas atween | J |
| But I ne'er 'ave spoke such curious folk | D |
| As I seen on this 'ere trip | B |
| Who seeks for marts in furrin parts | L |
| Yet for blue water have no hearts | L |
| For they ain't got a deep sea ship | B |
| - | |
| No they ain't got a deep sea ship they ain't | F |
| An' it don't seem like they care | M |
| For they 'ands the job to any ole yob | N |
| Wot makes a landfall there | M |
| In tramp an' tub they ships their grub | N |
| Aw it fair gives me the pip | B |
| They've wool an' wine an' corn an' kine | J |
| An' the carryin' trade would suit 'em fine | J |
| But they ain't got a deep sea ship | B |
