The full lyrics
Good Mornin Ladies All A
We are outward bound for Mobile Town,
– With a heave-O, haul!
An’ we’ll heave the ol’ – wheel round an’ round,
– Good mornin’, ladies all!
* 2 *
An’ when we get to Mobile town,
Oh, ’tis there we’ll drink an’ sorrow drown.
* 3 *
Them gals down south are free an’ gay,
Wid them we’ll spend our hard-earned pay.
* 4 *
We’ll swing around, we’ll have good fun,
An’ soon we’ll be back on the homeward run.
* 5 *
An’ when we get to Bristol town,
For the very last time we’ll waltz around.
* 6 *
With Pool and Meg an’ Sally too,
We’ll drink an’ dance wid a hullabaloo.
* 7 *
So a long goodbye to all you dears,
Don’t cry for us, don’t waste yer tears.
