Mollie and the Unwiseman Abroad
And then the song began again drawing nearer each moment.

 "Yeave-ho, Yo-ho, O I love the life so brave. I love to swish Like the porpoise fish Over the foamy wave. So let the salt wind blow-away, All care and trouble throw-away, And lead the life of a Stowaway Yeave-ho—Yeave-ho—Yo-hee!" 

"Yeave-ho,

Yo-ho,

Like the porpoise fish

Over the foamy wave.

So let the salt wind blow-away,

All care and trouble throw-away,

And lead the life of a Stowaway

Yeave-ho—Yeave-ho—Yo-hee!"

"Yeave-ho,

Yo-ho,

I love the At-lan-tic.

The water's wet
