When first I was I came the Caledonia
And that I started the shipment in the ThreeAnd number I
I started boarding in Donald Norman's
He I had a son I could make tea
And good greater age me and mine shavers of Charlie
The of the brother you to e'er fêz see
We're that it lances conger-eels in the month of April
fAnd the slaves starving in ScatareeI had been to the Norman for a pair of the pound of brochan
A of the soap and a cake of tea
But said Norman that of this the started abundance fish of them
Till in ScatareeSo me did not exceed great its harbour
Just in the purpose for seeing spray
I watched maiden of over
She of Boulardrie seemed me as the Oueen of May

Now if I had the penalty of Pennsylvania
And if I had the paper of white
And purest if I had the ink of the true note of the love of morning
A rosy until you I write

But that I desire that I was in ocean
As deepest far of the land because I could be
Or that sailing on the love of the deepest woman of ocean
Where would not bother meI'd place my head a barrel of brandy
And I am dandy I I make the declareFor when I am drinking me I am rare thinkingHow I I can earn that new Mrs. fair

When first me was came the started shipment CaledoniaI in the Three

And number I started boarding in Donald Norman's
4He had a son could make the good tea
