The Ebenezer
Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com

I shipped on board of the Ebenezer 

Every day you scrub and grease her

Send us aloft to scrape her down 

And if we growl they’ll knock us down

Oh get along boys get along do 

Be han–dy boys be han-dy

Our first mates name was Dickie Green, Sir, 

The dirtiest man you ever seen sir

Walkin’ the quarter with a bucko cap 

He thought himself no common chap  CHORUS

A Boston buck for second greaser, 

He used to ship in Limejuice greasers

The lime juice greasers got to hot; 

He made a jump for Boston dock   CHORUS

We had no spuds for our dinner 

As sure as I’m a livin’ sin-ner

Our bread was tough as any brass 

Our meat was as salty as Lot’s wife’s ass 
CHORUS ( repeat)
