A lot of sea shanties about girls in blue dresses, here's one I sing that my wife wishes I didn't There's a girl asleep with a blue dress on She's waiting there for Uncle Tom CH: Shake her Johnny Shake her Shake her and we'll wake her This girl she did look up to me For I have been ten months at sea She's a Windward girl with a Windward style For a dollar a time it's all worthwhile So roust and shake her is the cry This bloody topmast she must try The big wind comes from the West 'nor West This girl ain't gonna get no rest So roust her up from down below And haul away for your Uncle Jo Wake up ye bitch and let us in Wake up ye bitch we want some Gin This girl she is a a high brown lass A high brown lass in a flash blue dress Roust her up be quick I say And make your port and take your pay
