Oh, me Mary she's a sailors lass
To me Hooker John, me Hoojohn!
Oh, we courted all day on the grass
To me Hooker John, me Hoojohn!
'Way Susanna, oh, way, hey, high, high ya!
Johnny's on the foreyard,
Yonder, way up yonder


Oh, me Susie she's a sailors gal
She's none foot high, that gal's so tall

Oh, me Flora she's a hoosier's friend'
She's beamy round the ol' beam end

Oh, Sally Brown she's the gal for me
She courts a bit when her man's at sea

Oh, haul away for Mobile Bay
Haul away and make your pay
