RANZO

Oh! poor old Rubin Ranzo!
Ranzo boys! Ranzo.

Je sold his plough and harrow,
Ranzo, &c

Ranzo was no sailor,

He shipped on a Yankee whaler.

He could not do his duty,

He could not furl a "Royal",

The "mate" he was a bad man;

The Captain was a good 'un.

They took him to the gangway,

And gave him six and thirty.

He was taken in the cabin,

And there had wine and brandy;

And they taught him navvy-gation:

Now, he's skipper of a whaler.

I wish I was old "Ranzo's" son,

I'd build a ship of a thousand ton;

I'd give my sailors plenty of rum.

Old "Ranzo" was a good old man,

But now old "Ranzo's" dead and gone

And none can sing his funeral song.
