Fall Down Billy O'Shea

Fall Down Billy O'Shea

<Fall down, fall down, fall down me Billy

We're bound away for Americay

Fall down Billy O'Shea>

We all got drunk in Dublin city

<Fall down me Billy>

We all got drunk, sure more's the pity

<Fall down Billy O'Shea>

<...>

We all lay down on Sir Rogerson's Quay

<Fall down me Billy>

And when we woke we were out to sea

<Fall down Billy O'Shea>

<...>

Oh! we are no sailors captain Drew

<Fall down me Billy>

And quite unwilling to sail with you

<Fall down Billy O'Shea>

<...>

Says the captain, "I've a cure for that"

<Fall down me Billy>

"And just for health here's a dose of the cat"

<Fall down Billy O'Shea>

<...>

So we sent him up to the top-mast yard

<Fall down me Billy>

And when he hit the deck, oh! he hit it hard

<Fall down Billy O'Shea>

<...>

So we wrapped him in a canvas sail

<Fall down me Billy>

And lowered him gently o'er the rail

<Fall down Billy O'Shea>
