Fire Down below    A

Fire, Fire! Fire down below,
Its fetch a bucket of water boys its fire down below.

Fire, Fire! Fire down below,
Its fetch a bucket of water boys its fire down below.

Fire in the fore top, fire in the main,
Its fetch a bucket of water boys and put it out again.

Chorus
Fire in the cabin fire in the hold,
Fire in the strong room a melting of the gold.

Chorus

Fire in the lifeboat, fire in the gig,
Fire in the pigsty a roasting of the pig.

Chorus

Fire in the Capstan, fire in the mast,
Fire in the main deck and the flames are spreading fast.

Chorus

Fire in the slop chest there’s nothing left to wear,
Fire in the cabin but the old man doesn’t care.

Chorus

Fire in the windlass, fire in the chain,
Its fetch a bucket of water boys and put it out again.

Chorus

Fire down below and fire up above,
Fire in our hearts for…  The girls that we do love.
