And I got lodgings with Donald Norman, He had a daughter who made good tea. And there was me and my brother Charlie, Two bigger shavers you never did see, Were spiking eels in the month of April And starving slaves out on Scatarie. I went down to Donald Norman's To buy some boots and a pound of tea. But Donald said that he could not give them Till fish got plenty in Scatarie. So I went down to their big harbour, All on purpose for to see the spray. I spied a maiden from Boularderie over, One look from her took my breath away. If I had pen from Pennsylvania, If I had paper of the purest white, If I had ink of the rosy morning, A true love note onto you I'd write. To wish I was on the deepest ocean As far from land as I ever could be, Sailing over the deepest water Where a woman's love would not bother me. I'd lay my head to a cask of brandy It's a dandy I do declare, For when I'm drinking I'm seldom thinking On how I lost that young female fair. When I first went to Caledonia I got started in number three. And I got lodgings with Donald Norman, He had a daughter who made good tea.
