aces at the
little pickle onions, in order to make them squeak with terror.
On winter nights there is always Puddin' and hot coffee for supper, and
many's the good go in I've had up there, a-sitting round the fire.
I didn't mean to let on that I knew their address, on account of so many
people wanting to have a go at the Puddin'. However, it's out now.
When the wind blows and the rain comes down, it's jolly sitting up aloft
in the snug tree-house, especially when old Bill is in good form and
gives us the _Salt Junk Sarah_, with all hands joining in the chorus.
'Oh, rolling round the ocean,
From a far and foreign land,
May suit the common notion
That a sailor's life is grand.
'But as for me, I'd sooner be
A-roaring here at home
About the rolling, roaring life
Of them that sails the foam.
'For the homeward-bounder's chorus,
Which he roars across the foam,
Is all about chucking a sailor's life,
And settling down at home.
'Home, home, home,
That's the song of them that roam,
The song of the roaring, rolling sea
Is all about rolling home.'
