  1. (continued from previous page)
    2 (contd.)
    There was never a man
    Ever sailed with John Con
    But was anxious to call again
    For a trip down the Abha Bheag
    With a bucket and jug
    On board the boat
    Mary Jane.
    3.
    Her captain and crew
    Are well known to you
    They are the boys
    From around the place
    They are no foreign breed
    They're our own clan and creed
    You can read it
    On every face
    Great Britain may boast
    Of her sailors
    Who plough o'er
    The raging main
    But in all of her fleet
    She has none to compete
    With the crew
    Of the "Mary Jane".
