    1.
    There's a beautiful yacht
    With her sails flying flat
    And she is anchored
    Near Ballinahown
    She carries a crew
    Of about twenty-two
    And a Captain
    Of high renown
    You might travel
    The world all over
    Through the fleets
    Of France and Spain
    But a handsomer boat
    Was ne'er set afloat
    Then this one called
    The "Mary Jane"

    When they cargoed the beer
    They couldn't find room at all
