HOB-I-DERI-DANDO
I'll sing bass and you sing solo (Hob-i-Deri-Dando) All about the clipper ship the Marco Polo (Let us sing again, boys) See her rolling through the water (Jane, sweet Jane) I wish I was in bed with the captain's daughter
Chorus Jane, Jane, come to the glen To sing a praise to Siani Fach Fwyn (2x)
Davy, Davy, comes from Nevin, (Hob-i-Deri-Dando) An' he's got a sweet little engine. (Let us sing again, boys) An' he thinks so much about it, (Jane, sweet Jane) That he cannot do without it.
Chorus
Davy, Davy and sailor Evan, (Hob-i-Deri-Dando) They caught a shark on the reach of Nevin. (Let us sing again, boys) And all they asked for was a pie dish, (Jane, sweet Jane) Thought they washed them bits of sharkfish.
Chorus
Crusher Bailey had a sister, (Hob-i-Deri-Dando) Laughed like blazes when you kissed her. (Let us sing again, boys) Couldn't knit nor darn no stocking, (Jane, sweet Jane) But what she could do was shocking.
Chorus
Johnny Jones he wants a missus, (Hob-i-Deri-Dando) Someone to keep him warm with kisses. (Let us sing again, boys) Take him 'round to Bailey's sister, (Jane, sweet Jane) She's so hot she'll raise a blister.
