THE PRESS-GANG, by                    
First Line: Here's the tender coming
Last Line: Full of red marines
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean


Here's the tender coming,
Pressing all the men;
O, dear honey,
What shall we do then?
Here's the tender coming,
Off at Shields Bar.
Here's the tender coming,
Full of men of war.
Here's the tender coming,
Stealing of my dear;
O dear honey,
They'll ship you out of here,
They'll ship you foreign,
For that is what it means.
Here's the tender coming,
Full of red marines.
