Little Boy Billee Lyrics

There were three men of Bristol city
There were three men of Bristol city
They stole a ship and went to sea
They stole a ship and went to sea

There was Gorgin' Jack and Guzzlin' Jimmy
There was Gorgin' Jack and Guzzlin' Jimmy
And also little boy Billee
And also little boy Billee

They stole a tin of the captains biscuits
They stole a tin of the captains biscuits
And one large bottle of whiskey
And one large bottle of whiskey

But when they reached the broad Atlantic
But when they reached the broad Atlantic
They had nothing left but one sweet pea
They had nothing left but one sweet pea

Said Gorgin' Jack to Guzzlin' Jimmy
Said Gorgin' Jack to Guzzlin' Jimmy
With nothing to eat I'm going to eat thee
With nothing to eat I'm going to eat thee

Said Guzzlin' Jimmy I'm old and toughish
Said Guzzlin' Jimmy I'm old and toughish
So let's eat little boy Billee
So let's eat little boy Billee

Oh little boy Billee were gonna kill and eat ya
Oh little boy Billee were gonna kill and eat ya
So undo the top button of your little chemee
So undo the top button of your little chemee

Oh may I say my catechism
Oh may I say my catechism
That my dear mother taught to me
That my dear mother taught to me

He climbed up to the main topgallant
He climbed up to the main topgallant
And there he fell upon his knee
And there he fell upon his knee

But when he reached the eleventh commandment
But when he reached the eleventh commandment
He cried yo ho Holland I see
He cried yo ho Holland I see

I see Jerusalem and Madagascar
I see Jerusalem and Madagascar
And North and South Americie
And North and South Americie

I see the British fleet at anchor
I see the British fleet at anchor
And our Admiral Nelson K C B
And our Admiral Nelson K C B

They hung Gorgin' Jack and Guzzlin' Jimmy
They hung Gorgin' Jack and Guzzlin' Jimmy
But they made an admiral of little boy Billee
But they made an admiral of little boy Billee
