Row Bullies Row Lyrics
Row Bullies Row - Jimmie Driftwood
From London to Frisco A'roving I went
To go a'prospecting it was my intent
With drinking and fighting I acted a fool
And soon I was sailing back to Liverpool
Singing row row row bullies row
Them golden gate angels have got us in tow
Singing row row row bullies row
It's a long way from London to the bay of Frisco
The mates on the packet are big windy fools
Their mammies were tigers and their daddies were mules
With blood in their whiskers and a gun on each hip
They eat a poor sailor for breakfast each trip
Singing row row row bullies row
Them golden gate angels have got us in tow
Singing row row row bullies row
It's a long way from London to the bay of Frisco
One night off Cape Horn I will never forget
It gives me the shivers to think of it yet
A storm drove us into a valley of whales
They rolled the ship over and tore down the sails
Singing row row row bullies row
Them golden gate angels have got us in tow
Singing row row row bullies row
It's a long way from London to the bay of Frisco
It's hell when you're laying out there in the bay
A waiting for a wind that will take you away
The sailors get mad and they cuss and they roar
They drink all the whiskey and holler for more
Singing row row row bullies row
Them golden gate angels have got us in tow
Singing row row row bullies row
It's a long way from London to the bay of Frisco
I been around the Horn I guess two dozen times
A gumming my taters and a sucking my lime
Well a here's to our captain the best on the sea
His sweetheart in Frisco is waiting for me
Singing row row row bullies row
Them golden gate angels have got us in tow
Singing row row row bullies row
It's a long way from London to the bay of Frisco
It's a long way from London to the bay of Frisco
It's a long way from London to the bay of Frisco
