Made me long ten times an hour,
For Susan on my knee. _Chorus_--For Susan on my knee, my boys, For Susan on my knee. One night we smashed our jailer's skull and off our boat did steer, And in the offing were picked up by a jolly privateer; We sailed in her the cruise, my boys, and prizes did take we, I'll be at Portsmouth soon, thinks I, with Susan on my knee. We shared three hundred pounds a man, I made all sail with glee, Again I danced and tossed my can, With Susan on my knee. _Chorus_.--With Susan on my knee, my boys, With Susan on my knee. "That's prime, Jemmy. Now, my boys, all together," cried Obadiah Coble. _Chorus_.--Very good song, and very well sung, Jolly companions every one; We are all here for mirth and glee, We are all here for jollity. Very good song, and very well sung, Jolly companions every one; Put your hats on to keep your heads warm, A little more grog will do us no harm. |
