My interpretation of the lyrics by Paradiddle, an Aussie band of the late 1970's.

Sally Brown

I shipped on board of a Liverpool liner
Way-hey, roll and go.
And we rolled all night and we rolled 'till day-o
to spend my money along with Sally Brown.

Sally Brown is a nice-a young lady
Way-hey, roll and go.
And we rolled all night and we rolled 'till day-o
to spend my money along with Sally Brown.

Her mother doesn't like a tar-ey sailor
Way-hey, roll and go.
And we rolled all night and we rolled 'till day-o
to spend my money along with Sally Brown.

She wants her to marry a one-legged captain
Way-hey, roll and go.
And we rolled all night and we rolled 'till day-o
to spend my money along with Sally Brown.

I shipped on board of a Liverpool liner
Way-hey, roll and go.
And we rolled all night and we rolled 'till day-o
to spend my money along with Sally Brown.
