Gordon Bok – Jericho Lyrics
Artist: Gordon Bok
Song: Jericho
When she’s a tight old staver
Then do all you can to save her;
When she drops her dear old transom
Time to pack your gear and leave her
Ho-ro, the wind and snow
Flying o’er the Jericho
When the stormy winds do blow
Swing her off and let her go
Here’s to her lodging knees
And her bobstays, if you please
May they never leave her
Ho-ro, the wind and snow
Flying o’er the Jericho
When the stormy winds do blow
Swing her off and let her go
When the frog is on the punkin
And you hear the bells a-tunkin’
Keep her off the rockpiles, darling
Ho-ro, the wind and snow
Flying o’er the Jericho
When the stormy winds do blow
Swing her off and let her go
Here’s to the dear old lady
Here’s to her paint and putty
Here’s to her chain plates, darling
May they keep her all together
Ho-ro, the wind and snow
Flying o’er the Jericho
When the stormy winds do blow
Swing her off and let her go
Keep her full and keep her going
Never jibe her when it’s blowing;
There’s no way of knowing
When she’s going to tear it, darling
Ho-ro, the wind and snow
Flying o’er the Jericho
When the stormy winds do blow
Swing her off and let her go
Don’t you go down to the city
They’ll take your money, darling
Oh, and they’ll reef your mainsail
Ho-ro, the wind and snow
Flying o’er the Jericho
When the stormy winds do blow
Swing her off and let her go
So here’s to her garboard strakes
And to the water that she makes
When to the pumps we takes
Just to let her know we love her
