BLACK BALL LINE

In the Black Ball Line I served my time
Chorus: Hurrah for the Black Ball Line!

In the Black Ball Line I had a good time
Chorus: Hurrah for the Black Ball Line!

Oh, the Black Ball ships are good and true
Chorus: Hurrah for the Black Ball Line!

And they are the ships for me and you
Chorus: Hurrah for the Black Ball Line!

For once there was a Black Ball ship
Chorus: Hurrah for the Black Ball Line!

That fourteen knots an hour could clip
Chorus: Hurrah for the Black Ball Line!

Her yards were square and her gear all new
Chorus: Hurrah for the Black Ball Line!

She had a good and gallant crew
Chorus: Hurrah for the Black Ball Line!

One day while sailing on the sea
Chorus: Hurrah for the Black Ball Line!

We saw a vessel on our lee
Chorus: Hurrah for the Black Ball Line!

We knew it was a pirate craft
Chorus: Hurrah for the Black Ball Line!

Her iron guns be fore and aft
Chorus: Hurrah for the Black Ball Line!

We did not fear as you may think
Chorus: Hurrah for the Black Ball Line!

But made those pirates want a drink
Chorus: Hurrah for the Black Ball Line!
