Motley Words

We all got drunk in Dublin City
Fall down me Billy
We all got drunk and the more’s the pity
Fall down Billy O’Shea
(Chours)
Fall down fall down fall down m’Billy,
We’re bound away for Americay,
Fall down Billy O’Shea.

We wen to sleep on Rogerson’s Quay
Fall down m’Billy
When we woke up we were far at sea
Fall down Billy O’Shea
(Chorus)

Oh we’re no sailors Captain dear,
Fall Down m’Billy
We don’t know how to reef or steer
Fall down Billy O’Shea
(Chorus)

The Captain said I’ve a cure for that
Fall Down m’Billy
And here for a start is a dose of the cat.
Fall down Billy O’Shea
(Chorus)

He sent him up to the topmast yard
Fall Down m’Billy
When he hit the deck he hit it hard
Fall down Billy O’Shea
(Chorus)

We wrapped him up in a canvas sail
Fall down m’ Billy
And we lowered him gently over the rail
Fall down Billy O’Shea
(Chorus)

Well, it’s over the side and down he goes
Fall down m’ Billy
To Davy Jones with a stitch through his nose
Fall down Billy O’Shea

Fall down fall down fall down m’Billy,
We’re bound away for Americay,
Fall down Billy O’Shea.
O’Shea!
