My Salty Gal
    I met a gal who had no teeth
    Though her smile was always grinning
    She set my heart all a flutter
    And my peg leg set to spinning

    With a yo yo yo
    Go whack a ho
    And a crack pipe full in the morning

    She had a smell that surrounded her
    To be mine she made me wish
    Yes I’m a salty dog for life
    What care I if she smelled like fish

    With a yo yo yo
    Go whack a ho
    And a crack pipe full in the morning

    She said her name was Begonia
    With a voice as loud as a bell
    But I was deaf from a gale force wind
    So how loud I could hardly tell

    With a yo yo yo
    Go whack a ho
    And a crack pipe full in the morning

    She wore a shoe size seventeen
    And a waist forty two plus eleven
    Such a petite thing in those over-alls
    Made me think I’d died gone to heaven

    With a yo yo yo
    Go whack a ho
    And a crack pipe full in the morning

    I’ll never forget that first long kiss
    I tell ya lads I’m not fickle
    Her lips tasted like a grapefruit rind
    And her mustache boy did it tickle

    With a yo yo yo
    Go whack a ho
    And a crack pipe full in the morning

    Her hair was blond all to her waist
    She combed it down with whale oil
    She shaved her legs with pruning shears
    And put make-up on her boil

    With a yo yo yo
    Go whack a ho
    And a crack pipe full in the morning

    But time soon came to ship off again
    A parting both of us had feared
    I’ll never forget her sweet sad face
    And her tears running down into her beard

    With a yo yo yo
    Go whack a ho
    And a crack pipe full in the morning

    With a yo yo yo
    Go whack a ho
    And a crack pipe full in the morning!
