We were only simple seamen, so of course we didn't know. We were simple singing seamen, so of course we couldn't know. Ill But we crossed a plain of poppies, and we came upon a fountain 'Not of water, but of jewels, like a spray of leaping fire; And behind it, in an emerald glade, beneath a golden mountain There stood a crystal palace, for a sailor to admire; For a troop of ghosts came round us, Which with leaves of bay they crowned us, Then with grog they well-nigh drowned us, to the depth of ...our desire! And 'twas very friendly of them, as a sailor can admire ! IV There was music all about us, we were growing quite forgetful FORTY SINGING SEAMEN We were only singing seamen from the dirt of London town, Though the nectar that we swallowed seemed to vanish half regretful As if we wasn't good enough to take such vittles down, When we saw a sudden figure, Tall and black as any nigger, Like the devil only bigger drawing near us with a frown ! Like the devil but much bigger and he wore a golden crown I And "What's all this?" he growls at us!
