A wandering minstrel I

A thing of shreds and patches

Of ballads songs and snatches

And dreamy lullaby

My catalogue is long

Through every passion ranging

And to your humours changing

I tune my supple song

I tune my supple song

Are you in sentimental mood

I'll sigh with you

Oh sorrow

On maiden's coldness do you brood

I'll do so too

Oh sorrow sorrow

I'll charm your willing ears

With songs of lovers' fears

While sympathetic tears

My cheeks bedew

Oh sorrow sorrow

But if patriotic sentiment is wanted

I've patriotic ballads cut and dried

For where'er our country's banner may be planted

All other local banners are defied

Our warriors in serried ranks assembled

Never quail or they conceal it if they do

And I shouldn't be surprised if nations trembled

Before the mighty troops of Titipu

We shouldn't be surprised if nations trembled

With Trembled alarm

Before the mighty troops

The troops of Titipu

And if you call for a song of the sea

We'll heave the capstan round

With a yeo heave ho for the wind is free

Her anchor's a-trip and her helm's a-lee

For Hurrah the homeward bound

Yeo-ho heave ho

Hurrah for the homeward bound

To lay aloft in a howling breeze

May tickle a landsman's taste

But the happiest hour a sailor sees

Is when he's down

At an inland town

With his Nancy on his knees yeo ho

And his arm around her waist

Then man the capstan off we go

As the fiddler swings us round

With a yeo heave ho

And a rum below

Hurrah for the homeward bound

With a yeo heave ho

And a rum below

Yeo-ho heave ho

Yeo-ho heave ho

Heave ho heave ho yeo-ho

A wandering minstrel I

A thing of shreds and patches

Of ballads songs and snatches

And dreamy lullaby

And dreamy lulla-lullaby

Lullaby
