Our packet is the Island Lass
\nLow lands lowlands lowlands low
\n<\/i><\/b>There’s a man there howlin’ in the main topmast
\nLow lands lowlands lowlands low <\/i><\/b>
\nHe’s got the name of Hammer Toes
\nLow lands lowlands lowlands low
\n<\/i><\/b>The old man he’s from Barbados
\nLow lands lowlands lowlands low<\/i><\/b>
\nThe monkey’s dressed in a soldier’s clothes
\nLow lands lowlands lowlands low
\n<\/i><\/b>And where he got ’em, Go only knows
\nLow lands lowlands lowlands low
\n<\/i><\/b>He feeds us bread as hard as brass
\nLow lands lowlands lowlands low<\/i><\/b>
\nOur bunk’s as hard as a bailem’s ass
\nLow lands lowlands lowlands low
\n<\/b>It’s up aloft that yard must go
\nLow lands lowlands lowlands low
\n<\/i><\/b>Up aloft from down below
\nLow lands lowlands lowlands low
\n<\/i><\/b>We’ll haul ’em high and let ’em dry
\nLow lands lowlands lowlands low
\n<\/i><\/b>We’ll trice ’em up into the sky
\nLow lands lowlands lowlands low
\n<\/i><\/b>Lowlands, me boys, and up she goes
\nLow lands lowlands lowlands low
\n<\/i><\/b>Get changed, me boys, for your shore-going clothes
\nLow lands lowlands lowlands low<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
