A Great Big Sea Hove In Long Beach

A great big sea hove in Long Beach,
Right fal-or-al taddle diddle I-do
A great big sea hove in Long Beach
And Granny Snooks she lost her speech
To me right fol-didy fol-dee

A great big sea hove in the Harbour,
Right fal-or-al taddle diddle I-do
A great big sea hove in the Harbour
And hove right up to Keough's Parlour,
To me right fol-didy fol-dee

"Oh, mother dear, I wants a sack,"
Right fal-or-al taddle diddle I-do
"Oh, mother dear, I wants a sack
With beads and buttons down the back,"
To me right fol-didy fol-dee

"Me boot is broke, me frock is tore,"
Right fal-or-al taddle diddle I-do
"Me boot is broke, me frock is tore,
But Georgie Snooks I do adore,"
To me right fol-didy fol-dee

Oh, fish is low and flour is high,"
Right fal-or-al taddle diddle I-do
Oh, fish is low and flour is high,
So Georgie Snooks he can't have I."
To me right fol-didy fol-dee

"But he will have me in the fall,"
Right fal-or-al taddle diddle I-do
If he don't I'll hoist my sail
And say goodbye to old Canaille,"
To me right fol-didy fol-dee
