A LONG TIME AGO (6)
(from the singing of James P. Barker)
(Doerflinger - Songs of the Sailor and Lumberman -p43)
Then up a-loft this yard must go,
[To me, way, ay, ay, yah,]
Then up a-loft this yard must go,
[For it's a long time a-go]
I placed my hand upon her knee
I think, young man, you're rather free!
Then one more pull and that will do
Oh, one more pull and then it's belay!
