The Longest Johns - Written in Salt

Eliza Lee

Oh the finest ship that you will find is
(Ho-way, ho, are you 'most done?)
She's the Margaret Evans of the Blue Star Line
(Clear away the track and let the bullgine run!)

To me hey rig-a-jig in a jaunting car
Ho-way, ho, are you 'most done
With 'liza Lee all on my knee
Clear away the track an' let the bullgine run

O, we're outward bound for the West Street Pier
(Ho-way, ho, are you 'most done?)
With Galway Shale and Liverpool beer
(Clear away the track and let the bullgine run!)

To me hey rig-a-jig in a jaunting car
Ho-way, ho, are you 'most done
With 'liza Lee all on my knee
Clear away the track an' let the bullgine run

And when we're out in New York Town
(Ho-way, ho, are you 'most done?)
We'll dance those Bowery girls around
(Clear away the track and let the bullgine run!)

To me hey rig-a-jig in a jaunting car
Ho-way, ho, are you 'most done
With 'liza Lee all on my knee
Clear away the track an' let the bullgine run

Oh! the Margaret Evans of the Blue Star Line
(Ho-way, ho, are you 'most done?)
She's never a day behind her time
(Clear away the track and let the bullgine run!)

To me hey rig-a-jig in a jaunting car
Ho-way, ho, are you 'most done
With 'liza Lee all on my knee
Clear away the track an' let the bullgine run

And when we're back in Liverpool town
(Ho-way, ho, are you 'most done?)
I'll stand ya's whiskeys all around (hey!)
(Clear away the track and let the bullgine run!)

To me hey rig-a-jig in a jaunting car
Ho-way, ho, are you 'most done
With 'liza Lee all on my knee
Clear away the track an' let the bullgine run
