A Hundred Years Ago

from Loose Cannons by The Jolly Rogers

/

lyrics

A hundred years on the eastern shore,
Oh, yes, oh!
A hundred years on the eastern shore,
A hundred years ago!

I went to sail across the seas,
Oh, yes, oh!
My girl said she'd be true to me,
A hundred years ago!

I promised her a golden ring,
Oh, yes, oh!
She promised me that little thing,
A hundred years ago!

Oh, Bully John from Baltimore,
Oh, yes, oh!
I knew him well, that son of a whore!
A hundred years ago!

Oh Bully John I knew him well,
Oh, yes, oh!
But now he's dead and gone to hell,
A hundred years ago!

I thought I heard the skipper say,
Oh, yes, oh!
Just one more pull and then belay!
A hundred years ago!
