Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

As I walked down the Broadway one evening in July
\nI met a maid who asked me trade and a sailor John says I<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nAnd away, you Santee, my dear Annie
\nOh, you New York girls, can’t you dance the polka<\/p>\n

To Tiffany’s I took her I did not mind expense
\nI bought her two gold earrings and they cost me fifteen cents
\nChorus<\/p>\n

Says she, ‘You Limejuice sailor now see me home you may’
\nBut when we reached her cottage door, she this to me did say
\nChorus<\/p>\n

My flash man he’s a Yankee with his hair cut short behind
\nHe wears a pair of long sea-boots and he sails in the Blackball Line
\nChorus<\/p>\n

He’s homeward bound this evening and with me he will stay
\nSo get a move on, sailor-boy get cracking on your way
\nChorus<\/p>\n

So I kissed her hard and proper before her flash man came
\nAnd fare ye well, me Bowery gal, I know your little game
\nChorus<\/p>\n

I wrapped me glad rags round me and to the docks did steer
\nI’ll never court another maid I’ll stick to rum and beer
\nChorus<\/p>\n

I joined a Yankee blood-boat and sailed away next morn
\nDon’t ever fool around with gals you’re safer off Cape Horn
\nChorus<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
