Pirate Story |
THREE of us afloat in the meadow by the swing, | |
Three of us aboard in the basket on the lea. | |
Winds are in the air, they are blowing in the spring, | |
And waves are on the meadow like the waves there are at sea. | |
Where shall we adventure, to-day that we're afloat, | 5 |

Shall it be to Africa, a-steering of the boat, | |
To Providence, or Babylon, or off to Malabar? | |
Hi! but here's a squadron a-rowing on the sea
