(Low lands lowlands lowlands low)
Our junk’s as salt as a bailer’s arse
(Low lands lowlands lowlands low)
The monkey’s raised in a soldier’s clothes
(Low lands lowlands lowlands low)
Now, where he got 'em from, no one knows
(Low lands lowlands lowlands low)
We’ll haul 'em high and let 'em dry
(Low lands lowlands lowlands low)
We’ll trice 'em up into the sky
(Low lands lowlands lowlands low)
It’s up aloft that yard must go
