THE SAILOR
'With every hair a rope-yarn,
Every tooth a marline-spike,
Every finger a fish-hook,
And his blood right good stockhollum tar.'

ROLL THE COTTON DOWN
(Halliards Chanty)

Come roll the cotton down, my boys,
Roll the cotton down;
Come roll the cotton down, my boys,
O roll the cotton down.

Come hither, all you nigger boys,
Roll the cotton down;
Come hither, all you nigger boys,
O roll the cotton down.

A dollar a day is the white man's pay,
Roll the cotton down;
A dollar a day is the white man's pay,
O roll the cotton down.

Ten dollars a day is the black man's pay,
Roll the cotton down;
Ten dollars a day is the is the black man's pay,
O roll the cotton down.

The white man's pay is rather high,
Roll the cotton down;
The white man's pay is rather high,
O roll the cotton down.

The black man's pay is rather low,
Roll the cotton down;
The black man's pay is rather low,
O roll the cotton down.

Around Cape Horn we're bound to go,
Roll the cotton down;
Around Cape horn we're bound to go,
O roll the cotton down.

So stretch it aft and start a song,
Roll the cotton down;
So stretch it aft and start a song,
O roll the cotton down.
