And we Flooked for Ewhere good times Amare sold 
And I’ve Fnever met Ewomen so Ampretty 
But I’ve Fnever met Ewomen so Amcold 
As we Fsail uEpon the Amocean 
On the Fdecks of the EMabel AmGrey 
And we Fsearch every Eport for a Amwoman 
For the Fwoman who Ebears our ship’s Amname 
[Verse]
We Flanded our Eship in AmEngland 
Cause we’d Fheard you’d been Eseen on their Amshores 
But the Fpeople all Esaid to keep Ammovin’ 
That you Fwere not Eallowed there no Ammore 
So we Fsail upEon the Amocean 
On the Fdecks of the EMabel AmGrey 
We search Fevery Eport for a Amwoman 
For the Fwoman who Ebears our ship’s Amname

On the decks of the Mabel Grey

We search every port for a woman

F E Am

For the woman who bears our ship’s name
