Bob Walser: Fire Down Below
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOJxOSEdf2g
I thought I heard our old man say, Fire down below-O-O-O-O low, boys Fire down below! You can go ashore and get your pay. I don’t care what the captain say, Two pound ten won’t pay my way, I’ll take my clothes and run away, I’ll run away at the break of day, Because I can no longer stay, I’ll go to my girl round ‘Frisco Bay; I know very well ’tis with me she will stay. Because she know I have twelve months pay, And we’ll go down to the Midway Plasances, I thought I heard our captain say, You can go ashore and get your pay!
