William bligh  (Paul O’Brien)

 

 

Our captain is a clever chap, Easy easy

He put Dublin on the map

And the waves went up and down

From the Half Moon to the lighthouse tall, Easy easy

He made us build the great South Wall

And he waves went up and down

 

Now captain tell us of your fate, Easy easy

When you had that Christian mate

And he waves went up and down

And you went to look for food for slaves, Easy easy

But your men fell in love with island ways

And he waves went up and down

 

They cast us off in an open boat, Easy easy

So full of men she could hardly float

And he waves went up and down

Nigh 50 days we rode the waves, Easy easy

And cursed the breadfruit and cursed the slaves

And he waves went up and down

 

Just when we could sail no more, Easy easy

We set foot on Timor’s shore

And he waves went up and down

When to London we returned, Easy easy

They sent a ship to chase the scum

And he waves went up and down

 

Some were drowned and some were hung, Easy easy

 

And he waves went up and down
