Shallow Brown

Shallow, shallow brown
Shallow, shallow brown
Yankee ship came down the river
Shallow, shallow brown
Yankee ship came down the river
Shallow, shallow brown
How'd you know she's a Yankee clipper?
Shallow, shallow brown
By the blood and guts that flow from her scuppers
Shallow, shallow brown
And who'd you think was the master of her?
Shallow, shallow brown
Hully Semmes of the Alabama
Shallow, shallow brown
A Yankee mate and a lime juice skipper
Shallow, shallow brown
That's the style to make you shiver
Shallow, shallow brown
And what you think they had for dinner?
Shallow, shallow brown
A parrot's tail and a monkey's liver
Shallow, shallow brown
Me boots and clothes are all in pawn
Shallow, shallow brown
We're bound down south around Cape Horn
Shallow, shallow brown
Oh me dear, I'm bound to leave ya
Shallow, shallow brown
Do not let this parting grieve ya
Shallow, shallow brown
One more pull and that'll do
Shallow, shallow brown
We're the boys to pull her through
Shallow, shallow brown
