I wish I was in Madame Gashay’s
A down in calais oh
Hoorah me yella girls
Doodle let me go
Doodle let me go me girls
Doodle let me go
Hoorah me yella girls
Doodle let me go
She gave me gin
She gave me food
She took me to her room
She swung her hips
she tripped her feet
she winked her sassy eye
She grabbed me by the bobstay, boys,
she danced me ’round the room.
The mate is drunk, the crew is drunk, the ol’ man’s got a load.
We’ll tie a rope ’round Madame Gashay’s an’ take the place in tow
