There was a ship - she sailed to Spain Ch: O, Roll and go; There was a ship - she sailed to Spain Ch: O Tommy's on the topsail yard! There was a ship came home again, There was a ship came home again. What d'ye think was in her hold? What d'ye think was in her hold? There was diamonds, there was gold, There was diamonds, there was gold. What was in her lazareet? What was in her lazareet? Good split peas and bad bull meat, Good split peas and bad bull meat. Many sailormen gets drowned, Many sailormen gets drowned.

Masefield, A Sailor’s Garland, gives this shanty in addition to (but separate from) Sally Brown, the latter of which repeats the phrase “roll and go” in its chorus.

A lazareet here is borrowed from the French lazaret or Italian lazzaretto: an area on some merchant ships for storing provisions, usually a compartment below deck on the after end of the ship.
