Dear Betty, some we saw signalling
Dear Betty, some we couldn't see
No sign from the waves things are somewhat off
Judging by what I could earlier gather
Do you plan to be a long time at sea?
No sir, not I sir, I replied, not me
Seeing a glimmer of evil in his ... (?)
I thought it best if I cried
What can the sailors do when the captain feels mean?
The ship is on the ocean, so to speak
And what if the ship should spring a leak?
What do they expect of me?
Now without a pail you're prepared to open
Watching shift and seascapes are waiting for you
This is a bell sung(?), the sound goes on
Judging by what I could earlier gather
