Another fine song from Sailor with Banjo: But you'll only get one verse at a time in exchange for more direct feedback about initial inquiry. THE RODENT MARINER (By Hamish MacLaren, Sailor with Banjo, © 1930 Lyrics adapted by Charlie Ipcar Tune adapted from: Blow the Candle Out) We are the rodent ma-ri-ne-ers,(1) As nobody needs be told, For there's no mis-taking our nau-ti-cal airs, Our rolling eyes so bold; There's never a ship leaves English ground, From Liverpool Docks to Plymouth Sound, For Frisco Bay or Bombay bound, But we have free run of her hold!
