My dad use to sing this song. We have a recording of him singing it. The version he sang went like this:

Ships go sailing cross the sea so far away from shore
Now they don't wear skirts and girdles so you can't call them a
Horse and bridle saddle is what I've got to sell.
Now If you don't want to buy them then you can go to
Helen is my girlfriends name, she drives a new Ford truck
She ain't much good at driving but you should see her
Fumble fumble fumble she's fumbling with my heart
Everytime I eat navy beans I always have to
Forty dollars I have to spend, there's three more I pass
If you don't like this game of dice then you can kiss my
Asked my girlfriend her name to write down on the list
Everytime I drink cheap 3/2 I always have to
Peter Murphy had a dog a dirty old dog was he
He loaned it to the neighbor just to keep it company
And all around the house at night that dirty old dog would grunt
He'd run his nose up the lady's clothes and try to smell there
Come away you naughty dog you make my pressure rise.
There's never been a man in this whole wide world who'd lay between her but
I'd like to thank you for the glass of beer I'll drink the damn thing down
You'd better get up old man it's time for another round!
