A Great Big Sea Hove In Long Beach
(Words and music - Traditional. )
A great big sea hove in Long Beach, right fa-lo-ral fad-dle did-dle I-do
A great big sea hove in Long Beach, and Granny Snooks she lost her speech,
To me right fol-diddy fol-dee.
A great big sea hove in the Harbour, right fa-lo-ral fad-dle did-dle I-do
A great big sea hove in the Harbour, hove right up to Keough's Parlour
To me right fol-diddy fol-dee.
Oh dear mother I wants a sack, right fa-lo-ral fad-dle did-dle I-do
Oh dear mother I wants a sack, with beads and buttons all down the back
To me right fol-diddy fol-dee.
Me boot is broke, me frock is tore, right fa-lo-ral fad-dle did-dle I-do
Me boot is broke, me frock is tore, but Georgie Snooks I do adore.
To me right fol-diddy fol-dee.
Fish is low and flour is high, right fa-lo-ral fad-dle did-dle I-do
Fish is low and flour is high, so Georgie Snooks he can't have I
To me right fol-diddy fol-dee.
But he will have me in the fall, right fa-lo-ral fad-dle did-dle I-do
If he don't I'll hoist my sail and say farewell to old Canaille.
To me right fol-diddy fol-dee.
A great big sea hove in Long Beach, right fa-lo-ral fad-dle did-dle I-do
A great big sea hove in Long Beach, and granny Snooks she lost her speech,
To me right fol-diddy fol-dee.
