We were drinking down to Reedy's house, when first we heard the blow It seemed to come from Nippur rock, so boldly forth we go And sure enough a rusted tuck could just be barely seen As 'er string was high up in the air we made out Athens Queen Oh, the lovely Athens Queen Me boys, I must remind you there's a bottle left inside So let us go and have a few and wait until low tide And if the sea's not clamber when the glasses are licked clean We will then set forth some dorries, lads and see what may be seen On the lovely Athens Queen Some songs and old tall stories then came out to pass the time Nor could a single bottle keep us all until low tide And so it was before we left the house we were at sea So I scarcely can remember how we made the Athens Queen Oh, the lovely Athens Queen Oh the waves inside me belly, were as high as those outside And though I'm never seasick, I lost dinner overside Twas well there was no crew to see for we'd have scared them green We could scarcely keep ourselves from falling off the Athens Queen Oh, the lovely Athens Queen Well Reedy goes down straight below and comes back with a cow "Hello" I said "Now what would you be wantin with that, now? You'll never take a cow home in a dorry on such sea." "Well, me son" he says "I've always fancied fresh cream in me tea For the lovely Athens Queen." I headed for the galley then, cause I was rather dry I'm glad I was to get there quick fore what should I a spy Oh what a shame it would have been to lose it all at sea Fourty cases of the best Napolean Brandy ever seen On the lovely Athens Queen I loaded twenty cases, boys, then headed for the shore I loaded them as quick as that, and then pulled back for more Smith was pullin for the shore, but he could scarce be seen Under near two hundred chickens and a leather couch of green From the lovely Athens Queen Well here's to all good salvagers, likewise to Nippur Rock And to Napolean Brandy, of which now we have much stock We eat a lot of chicken and sit on a couch of green And we wait for Nippur Rock to claim another Athens Queen Oh, the lovely Athens Queen
