Traditional Sea Shanty Call and Response
[Verse 1]
DOh, the boys and the girls went a-huckleberry hunting,
To me hGay to me WDay to me hAey o way!
Oh, the boys and the girls went a-huckleberry hunting,
Sing HDilo, me RGanzAo RDay!
[Verse 2]
DThen a little girl ran off, and a little boy ran after,
To me hGay to me wDay to me hAey o way!
The little girl fell down and he saw her little garter.
Sing HDilo, me RGanzAo RDay!
[Verse 3]
DHe said, I'll be your beau if you'll have me for a feller,
To me hGay to me wDay to me hAey o way!
But the little girl said No, for me sweetheart's Johnny Miller.
Sing HDilo, me RGanzAo RDay!
[Verse 4]
DThen took her on his knee, an' he kissed her right and proper
To me hGay to me wDay to me hAey o way!
She kissed him back again, an' he didn't try to stop her
Sing HDilo, me RGanzAo RDay!
[Verse 5]
DAn' then he put his arm all about her waspy waist
To me hGay to me wDay to me hAey o way!
She sez "Oh um, young man you are in great haste"
Sing HDilo, me RGanzAo RDay!
[Veres 6]
DAn' then he put his hand all upon her knee
To me hGay to me wDay to me hAey o way!
She said Oh young man you're a little bit too free
Sing HDilo, me RGanzAo RDay!
[Verse 7]
DAn' then he put his hand yet higher still.
To me hGay to me wDay to me hAey o way!
She said "Oh young man that is really quite a thrill!
Sing HDilo, me RGanzAo RDay!
[Verse 8]
DOh, I'm shanty-man of this workin' party
To me hGay to me wDay to me hAey o way!
So sing lads, pull lads, so strong and hearty
Sing HDilo, me RGanzAo RDay!
