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
