There is Aone class of Dmen_ in this Acoun_-try_A_ that Anever is_ F#mmentioned in_ Bmsong__E
And Anow_ since their Dtrade is adAvancingA__ they'll Ecome out_ on Etop_ before_ Elong__E
They Esay that our Esailors have AdangerA__ and Dlikewise our Dwar-ri-ors Abold__A
But Athere's none know the Dlife of a Adri_-verA__ what he Esuffers_ with Ehardship and Acold__A
With their Apike poles and Dpeavies and Abateaus_ and Aall__
They're Asure_ to drive F#mout in the Bmspring_ that's_ the Etime__
With the Acaulks on their Dboots as they Aget on_ the Alogs__
And it's Ehard_ to get Eover theirA _ time__ A __ _ E _ _ E _ _ A _ _ A _ _
Bill ADorothey_ Dhe is the Amanager_A_ and Ahe's a good F#mman_ at the Bmtrade__E
And Awhen he's aDround seeking Adrivers_A_ he's Elike a train Bmgoing down Egrade__E
But Estill he is a Eman_ that's kindAhearted_A_ on Dhis word you Dalways_ deApend__A
And Athere's never a Dman that works Awith himA__ but Elikes to go_ Ewith him aAgain__A
With their Apike poles and Dpeavies and Abateaus_ and Aall__
They're Asure_ to drive F#mout in the Bmspring_ that's_ the Etime__
With the Acaulks on their Dboots as they Aget on_ the Alogs__
And it's Ehard_ to get Eover theirA _ time__ A __ _ E _ _ E _ _ A _ _ A _ _
I Atell you_ toDday home in ALondonA__ the times_ it is F#mread by each Bmman__E
But Alittle_ they Dthink of the Afellows_A_ that Edrove_ the Bmwood on Mary EAnn__E
For Epaper is Emade out of Apulpwood_A_ and Dmany things Dmore_ you may Aknow_A_
And Along may our Dmen live to Adrive itA__ upon EPay-me-Eoch and TomAjoe_A_
With their Apike poles and Dpeavies and Abateaus_ and Aall__
They're Asure_ to drive F#mout in the Bmspring_ that's_ the Etime__
With the Acaulks on their Dboots as they Aget on_ the Alogs__
And it's Ehard_ to get Eover theirA _ time__ A __ _ E _ _ E _ _ A _ _ A _ _
The Adrive_ it is_ Djust below_ ABadger_A_ and everyF#mthing_ is working Bmgrand_E_
With a Ajolly_ good Dcrew of picked AdriversA__ and ERonald_ BmKelly in_ comEmand_E
For ERonald_ is Eboss_ on_ the Ariver_A_ and Dhe's one Dman that's_ aAlive__A

With their Apike poles and Dpeavies and Abateaus_ and Aall__
They're Asure_ to drive F#mout in the Bmspring_ that's_ the Etime__
With the Acaulks on their Dboots as they Aget on_ the Alogs__
And it's Ehard_ to get Eover theirA _ time___
