Mauling Live Oak - The Boarding Party/Tom McHenry[00:00:00]

One day I was traveling[00:00:01]

I happened to think [00:00:03]

"My pockets are empty I can't buy a drink [00:00:05]

I am an old bummer completely dead broke [00:00:09]

And there's nothing to do but go[00:00:14]

Mauling live oak "[00:00:17]

Derry down down down derry down [00:00:18]

Well I went right away for to see Captain Swift[00:00:23]

To see and find out could he give me a lift [00:00:28]

He looked me all over from top unto toe [00:00:32]

Said he "You're the boy that live oaking[00:00:37]

Must go"[00:00:40]

Derry down down down derry down[00:00:40]

Then he brought out the contract that both[00:00:46]

Of us signed[00:00:49]

To keep and secure if we both were inclined [00:00:50]

But the very best wages that he could afford[00:00:54]

'Twas only five dollars a month and my board[00:00:59]

Derry down down down derry down[00:01:03]

Well I had to get ready without much delay [00:01:08]

For the schooner was sailing the very next[00:01:12]

Day[00:01:15]

With two pints of whiskey a pipe and a spoon[00:01:16]

Away we set sail for Mosquito Lagoon [00:01:21]

Derry down down down derry down[00:01:24]

Now bluff was the game that we played every[00:01:30]

Night [00:01:33]

And in it Charles Douglass he took great[00:01:34]

Delight [00:01:37]

He won my tobacco while others cracked jokes[00:01:38]

He said "You'll get more when you're[00:01:43]

Mauling live oak "[00:01:45]

Derry down down down derry down[00:01:46]

Now mauling this live oak I'll say it's[00:01:52]

Great fun [00:01:55]

Especially the dry ones that makes the sweat[00:01:56]

Run [00:01:59]

It'll make your axe handles to glimmer and[00:02:00]

Smoke[00:02:03]

You need iron handles for mauling live oak [00:02:05]

Derry down down down derry down[00:02:08]

It's mosquitoes by day and it's midges by night [00:02:14]

The sand fleas and bedbugs they bother me quite [00:02:18]

And if ever back home my head I do poke [00:02:22]

To Hell I'll kick Swift and his goddam[00:02:26]

Live oak [00:02:29]

Derry down down down derry down[00:02:30]
