WE BE THREE POOR MARINERS, by                    
Last Line: And he that is a bully boy / come pledge me on the ground
Subject(s): Navigation;sea; Ocean


WE be three poor Mariners,
Newly come from the seas;
We spend our lives in jeopardy,
While others live in ease.
Shall we go dance the round, the round, the round,
And shall we go dance the round, the round, the round?
And he that is a bully boy,
Come pledge me on the ground.

We despise those martial men
That do our states disdain;
But we care for those merchantmen,
Which do our states maintain.
To them we dance the round, the round, the round,
To them we dance the round, the round, the round:
And he that is a bully boy,
Come pledge me on the ground.
