We wrapped ’em all in a mains’l tight, </br> With twice ten turns of a hawser’s bight, </br> And we heaved ’em over and out of sight— </br> With a yo-heave-ho! </br> And a fare-you-well! </br> And a sullen plunge </br> In the sullen swell </br> Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell— </br> Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!

Additional quotes by Young E. Allison

A flimsy shift on a bunker cot, </br> With a thin dirk-slot through the bosom spot </br> And the lace stiff-dry in a purplish blot. </br> Or was she wench... </br> Or some shuddering maid...? </br> That dared the knife </br> And that took the blade! </br> By God! she was stuff for a plucky jade— </br> Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!
