Oh a poor old channel came riding by
And we say so, and we know so
Oh a poor old channel came riding by
Poor young lass

Says I Kaichou your channel will die
And we say so
And we know so
And if he dies they'll use his hide
Oh poor young lass

And if he don't he'll hurt ya
And we say so
And we know so
And he'll hurt you till the lord knows when
Oh poor old girl

He's dead as a nail on Cover's door
And we say so
And we know so
And he won't come worrying us no more
Oh poor kson

We'll use the subs of his to sow our sails
And we say so, and we know so
And the mem'ry to keep 'er 'live
Oh poor young lass

We'll drop him down with a long long rope


And we say so


And we know so


Where the sharks will have his body and we'll have his soul
Oh poor young lass
