| You do sir | B |
| Yes I wonder how they come | C |
| Well boy I wonder what you'll wonder next | D |
| But somebody must make them | E |
| Sure enough | F |
| Does your wife know | G |
| She never said she did | H |
| You told me that she knew so many things | I |
| I said she was a London woman sir | B |
| And a fine scholar but I never said | J |
| She knew about the songs | A |
| I wish she did | H |
| And I wish no such thing she knows enough | F |
| She knows too much already Look you now | K |
| This vessel's off the stocks a tidy craft | L |
| A schooner Martin | M |
| No boy no a brig | N |
| Only she's schooner rigged a lovely craft | L |
| Is she for me O thank you Martin dear | O |
| What shall I call her | B |
| Well sir what you please | P |
| Then write on her 'The Eagle ' | Q |
| Bless the child | R |
| Eagle why you know naught of eagles you | S |
| When we lay off the coast up Canada way | T |
| And chanced to be ashore when twilight fell | U |
| That was the place for eagles bald they were | B |
| With eyes as yellow as gold | V |
| O Martin dear | O |
| Tell me about them | E |
| Tell there's nought to tell | U |
| Only they snored o' nights and frighted us | W |
| Snored | V |
| Ay I tell you snored they slept upright | V |
| In the great oaks by scores as true as time | X |
| If I'd had aught upon my mind just then | Y |
| I wouldn't have walked that wood for unknown gold | V |
| It was most awful When the moon was full | Z |
| I've seen them fish at night in the middle watch | A2 |
| When she got low I've seen them plunge like stones | B2 |
| And come up fighting with a fish as long | C2 |
| Ay longer than my arm and they would sail | D2 |
| When they had struck its life out they would sail | D2 |
| Over the deck and show their fell fierce eyes | E2 |
| And croon for pleasure hug the prey and speed | V |
| Grand as a frigate on a wind | V |
| My ship | F2 |
| She must be called 'The Eagle' after these | P |
| And Martin ask your wife about the songs | A |
| When you go in at dinner time | X |
| Not I | G2 |
