Please let me down again
I was fixing my mother's chimney
Leave me alone
Release me back into the ocean
You'll stay with me
You'll stay with me
I'll head to shore
When I'm good and ready
You'll stay with me
You'll stay with me
I'll stay and fish
'Til I'm good and ready
First joke: kick your loyal dog
Second joke: trip over the hummock
Third joke: embrace your cheating wife
Release me back into the ocean
♪
I've got a secret
I will reveal it to you
Just let me down
I will reveal it to you
I'll take you down my friend
Take you down to the ocean
Just tell me why you laughed?
Just tell me why you laughed three times
I'll take you down my friend
Just tell me why you laughed three times
Dig up the hummock that you tripped over
And under it, you'll find something
To make you change your mind
Take me back down to the ocean
I'll take you down my friend (take you down)
Take you down to the ocean
You told me why you laughed (why you laughed)
You told me where to find the gold
The time is well remembered
When Marbendill laughed of yore (remembered, of yore)
How fawning sweet the mistress
When her man came ashore (the mistress, ashore)
Kissing him and fondling
Perfidious to the core (And fondling, the core)
The foolish man distrusted and kicked his dog, therefore (therefore)
♪
Gold!
You have done a good deed
I will reward you duly
Keep your eyes open
And seize the opportunity
The time is well remembered
When Marbendill laughed of yore (remembered, of yore)
How fawning sweet the mistress

Kicked his dog therefore
Dog therefore
Kicked his dog therefore
