De Hamborger Veermaster

Ick heff mol een Hamborger Veermaster sehn, De Masten so scheef as den Schipper sien Been, To my hoo day, hoo day, ho – ho – ho – ho! Refrain: Dat Deck weer vun Isen, vull Dreck un vull Smeer. "Rein Schipp" weer den Oll'n sin scheunstes Pläseer. To my hoo day, hoo day, ho – ho – ho – ho! Refrain: De Kombüs weer vull Lüüs, de Kajüt weer vull Schiet, De Beschüten, de leupen von sülvens all wech. To my hoo day, hoo day, ho – ho – ho – ho! Refrain: Dat Soltfleesch weer greun, un de Speck wör vull Modn. Un Köm geef dat blots an Wiehnachtsobend. To my hoo day, hoo day, ho – ho – ho – ho! Refrain: Un wulln wi mol seiln, ick sech ji dat nur, Denn lööp he dree vorut un veer wedder retur. To my hoo day, hoo day, ho – ho – ho – ho! Refrain: Un as dat Schipp, so weer ok de Kaptein, De Lüüd för dat Schipp, de weern ok blots schangheit. To my hoo day, hoo day, ho – ho – ho – ho! Refrain: I once saw a four-master from Hamburg. Her masts were as crooked as the skipper's legs. To my hoo day, hoo day, ho – ho – ho – ho! Refrain: The deck was of iron, full of dirt and grease. "Clean the ship" was the captain's most liked pleasure. To my hoo day, hoo day, ho – ho – ho – ho! Refrain The galley was full of lice, the cabin was full of shit. The hardtack walked away all by itself. To my hoo day, hoo day, ho – ho – ho – ho! Refrain The salted meat was green, the bacon was full of maggots Köm was only there at Christmas Eve. To my hoo day, hoo day, ho – ho – ho – ho! Refrain And if we wanted to sail, I merely say, She moved three fathom ahead and four back again. To my hoo day, hoo day, ho – ho – ho – ho! Refrain And like the ship, so the captain was, The men for the ship were all shanghaied. To my hoo day, hoo day, ho – ho – ho – ho! Refrain ==Melody==
