Bounding Main Saltpeter Shanty lyrics

To old Cally-oh we are bound to go, (Oh Roll!)
To old Cally-oh we are bound to go, (Oh Roll!)
We're bound away from Liverpool bay,
To those flash girls of Chile who'll grab all our pay

(Chorus)
Oh roll, rock your bars,
Heave 'er away, rock her, oh roll

Ol' Pedro the crimp, boys, we know him of old, (Oh Roll!)
Ol' Pedro the crimp, boys, we know him of old, (Oh Roll!)
He's primin' his vino, he's dopin' his beer,
To the Chinchas he'll ship us if we don't steer clear (Chorus)

Those flash girls of Chile they sure treat us nice, (Oh Roll!)
Those flash girls of Chile they sure treat us nice, (Oh Roll!)

They'll wine us and dine us and treat us so fine,
But we know that they're robbing us most of the time. (Chorus)

And when it comes time to sail away home, (Oh Roll!)
And when it comes time to sail away home, (Oh Roll!)
From some old seaport town on the west coast of hell,
We'll sing “Adios” and we'll bid you farewell (Chorus)

From old Cally-oh we are bound to go, (Oh Roll!)
From old Cally-oh we are bound to go, (Oh Roll!)
We are bound away to Liverpool bay,
From those flash girls of Chile who grabbed all our pay (Chorus)
