Congo River Lyrics

Was you never down the Congo River?
Blow, boys, blow.
Black fever makes the white man shiver.
Blow, me bully boys, blow.
A Irish ship came down the River.
Blow, boys, blow.
Her masts and yards, they shone like silver
Blow, me bully boys, blow.
Oh! Blow me boys and blow for ever!
Blow, boys, blow.
Hey! Blow me down that Congo River!
Blow, me bully boys, blow.

And Yonder comes the Arrow packet.
Blow, boys, blow.
She fires her guns. Can't you hear the racket?
Blow, me bully boys, blow.
Who do you think is the skipper of her?
Blow, boys, blow.
Ol' Bully Hayes the sailor robber.
Blow, me bully boys, blow.
Oh! Blow me boys and blow for ever!
Blow, boys, blow.
Hey! Blow me down that Congo River!
Blow, me bully boys, blow.

Oh, what do you think she had for cargo?
Blow, boys, blow.
Why, black sheep daa had run the embargo.
Blow, me bully boys, blow.
And what do you think they had for dinner?
Blow, boys, blow.
Why a frenchman's heart and a scotsman's liver.
Blow, me bully boys, blow.
Oh! Blow me boys and blow for ever!
Blow, boys, blow.
Hey! Blow me down that Congo River!
Blow, me bully boys, blow.

Oh! Blow me boys and blow for ever!
Blow, boys, blow.
Hey! Blow me down that Congo River!
Blow, me bully boys, blow.
