Oh, poor old man your horse will die
    And we say so, and we know so
Oh, poor old man your horse will die
    Oh, poor old man

We'll hoist him up to the main yardarm
We'll hoist him up to the main yardarm

Say, I old man your horse will die
Say, I old man your horse will die

We'll drop him down to the depths of the sea
We'll drop him down to the bottom of the sea

We'll sing him down with a long, long roll
Where the sharks'll have his body and the devil have have his soul
