The Liner she's a lady, an' she never looks nor 'eeds -- / The Man-o'-War's 'er 'usband, an' 'e gives 'er all she needs; / But, oh, the little cargo-boats, that sail the wet seas roun', / They're just the same as you an' me a-plyin' up an' down!
Plyin' up an' down, Jenny, 'angin' round the Yard, / All the way by Fratton tram down to Portsmouth 'Ard; / Anythin' for business, an' we're growin' old -- / Plyin' up an' down, Jenny, waitin' in the cold!
