"When the Boat comes in/Dance to thy Daddy
Come here me little Jacky,
now ah've smoked me baccy,
let's hev a bit of cracky,
till the boat comes in.
Dance to thee Daddy, sing to thee Mammy,
dance to thee Daddy, to thee Mammy sing;
Thou shalt hev a fishy on a little dishy,
thou shalt hev a fishy when the boat comes in.
Here's thy mother humming,
like a canny woman;
Yonder comes thy fatha,
drunk - he cannat stand. ..."

"Till the Tide Comes In
While strolling down by Sandgate Street,
A shipmate there I chanc'd to meet;
"I'll treat you with a pint of gin,"
Says he, "until the tide comes in",
Till the tide comes in, till the tide comes in,
Right merry will we be till the tide comes in;
We'll music bring, and dance and sing
And kiss the pretty girls till the tide comes in..."
