The poets can sing as much as they
please,
OF life on the ocean wave,
But 1t all depends,
On the way, my friends.
That the sea and the ship behave.
When the skies are clear. and the sea
is calm,
don't mind a trip like this;
Never miss meal.
And begin to feel,
That | know what pleasure Is.
But when the waves pile up, and the
ship gets drunk,
And those meals will not stay down.
How | long for a spot
In some vacant lot,
Or garnet in any old town.

upon these ocean trips.
