22. Reuben Ranzo

(Halliards.)

[Listen]

1. Oh poor old Reuben Ranzo,
Oh Ranzo boys, Ranzo.
Ah pity poor Reuben Ranzo.
Ranzo boys, Ranzo.

2. Oh Ranzo was no sailor
He shipped on board a whaler.

3. Old Ranzo couldn't steer her,

Did you ever hear anything queerer?

4. Oh Ranzo was no beauty

Why couldn't he do his duty?

5. Oh Ranzo washed once a fortnight
He said it was his birthright.

6. They triced up this man so dirty
And gave him five and thirty.

7. Oh poor old Reuben Ranzo

Ah pity poor Reuben Ranzo.
