| O Cynthia hast thou lost thy mind | C |
| Have I no claim on thine affection | D |
| Dost love the chill Illyrian wind | C |
| With something passing predilection | D |
| And is thy friend whoe'er he be | E |
| The kind to take the place of me | E |
| - | |
| Ah canst thou bear the surging deep | F |
| Canst thou endure the hard ship's mattress | G |
| For scant will be thy hours of sleep | F |
| From Staten Island to Cape Hatt'ras | H |
| And won't thy fairy feet be froze | I |
| With treading on the foreign snows | I |
| - | |
| I hope that doubly blows the gale | J |
| With billows twice as high as ever | B |
| So that the captain fain to sail | J |
| May not achieve his mad endeavor | B |
| The winds when that they cease to roar | B |
| Shall find me wailing on the shore | B |
| - | |
| Yet merit thou my love or wrath | K |
| O False I pray that Galatea | L |
| May smile upon thy watery path | K |
| A pleasant trip that's the idea | L |
| Light of my life there never shall | M |
| For me be any other gal | M |
| - | |
| And sailors as they hasten past | N |
| Will always have to hear my query | E |
| Where have you seen my Cynthia last | N |
| Has anybody seen my dearie | E |
| I'll shout In Malden or Marquette | O |
| Where'er she be I'll have her yet | O |
