Yankee John Stormalong 

Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com

Lisa Lee she promised me  -  Yankee John, Stormalong

She promised to get spliced to me  -    Yankee John, Stormalong


So I shipped away across the sea    Yankee John, Stormalong

In a hard case Downeaster to Miramashee    Yankee John, Stormalong


I promised her a golden ring     Yankee John, Stormalong

 I promised her that little thing     Yankee John, Stormalong


I promised I would make her mine     Yankee John, Stormalong

Oh! Wouldn't we have a jamboree fine    Yankee John, Stormalong


Liza Lee she's slighted me   Yankee John, Stormalong

Now she will not marry me.    Yankee John, Stormalong


Up aloft that yard must go    Yankee John, Stormalong

Up aloft from down below     Yankee John, Stormalong


Oh! Stretch her boys and show her clew,     Yankee John, Stormalong

We're the boys to kick her through     Yankee John, Stormalong
