| Oh this ship is made of paper |
| Alone, alone I sail the seven seas |
| Call my mama more oneday |
| Alone, alone it’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you |
| Lord there’s nothing in this world, baby (oh! ow!) |
| I wouldn’t do for you |
| If a shark bit off both my legs |
| You know that seamen on land turn to sand (ha ha, ooohwee baby) |
| Oh, turn my poor self over |
| And crawl home to you on my hands |
| (somebody better come here I suspect baby) |
| Lord, there ain’t nothing in this world, baby (hmmmmm) |
| I wouldn’t do for you |
| Pickup on this, pickup baby, pickup, pickup — this the blues, y’hear? |
| Lookee here baby |
| Mmmmm uunnnh, mmmm, uh, uh, unnnnnnh |
| Oh! Lord have mercy baby |
| Yeah yeah yeah yah ah, ahummmm |
| You take me home this morning |
| And make my long house turn up |
| On my head |
