The Jolly Rogers - Congo River lyrics
[The Jolly Rogers - Congo River lyrics]
Blow, boys, blow
Black fever makes the white man shiver
Blow me bully boys, blow
An Irish ship came down the river
Blow, boys, blow
Her masts and yards, they shone like silver
Blow me bully boys blow
And blow, me boys, and blow forever
Blow, boys, blow
Aye, blow me down that Congo River
Blow me bully boys blow
And yonder comes the Arrow Packet
Blow, boys, blow she fires her guns
Can't you hear the racket?
Blow me bully boys blow
And who do you think was the skipper of her?
Blow, boys, blow
Why Bully Hayes the sailor robber
Blow me bully boys blow
And blow, me boys, and blow forever
Blow, boys, blow
Aye, blow me down that Congo River
Blow me bully boys blow
And what do think they had for cargo?
Blow, boys, blow
Why black sheep that had run the embargo
Blow me bully boys blow
And what do you think they had for dinner?
Blow, boys, blow why a Frenchman's heart and
A Scotsman's liver blow me bully boys blow
And blow, me boys, and blow forever
Blow, boys, blow
Blow me down the Congo River
Blow me bully boys blow
And blow, me boys, and blow forever
Blow, boys, blow
Blow me down the Congo River
Blow me bully boys blow
