Run with the Bullgine

(Bulgine Run; Let the Bullgine Run)

We'll run from night till morning

Ch: O run, let the bullgine run.
Way-yah, oo... Oh run, let the bullgine run.

We'll run from Dover to Calais.

We've sailed away from Mobile Bay.

We gave three cheers and away we went.

Now up aloft this yard must go.

We're homeward bound for Liverpool docks.

From English Folk-Chanteys by Cecil Sharp (1914)

Oh we'll run all night till the morning.
Ch: Oh run, let the Bullgine run.
Way-yah, oh-I-oh,
run, let the Bullgine run.

Oh we sailed all day to Mobile Bay.

Oh we sailed all night across the Bight.

Oh we'll run from Dover to Callis.

Oh drive her captain, drive her.

Oh captain make her nose blood.

She's a dandy packet and a flier too.

With a dandy skipper, and a dandy crew.

Oh we'll run all night till the morning.

From The Shanty Book by Richard Runciman Terry (1921 and 1926)
