Please tell me, what is this sailboat's name?
It's the sailboat Malarkey
Tell me now, what is this good boat's name?
It's the sailboat Malarkey

Who is the man then who built this fine boat?
Richardson, Richardson built this fine boat

Well now, me boys, we are bound out to sea
Windward Caroline come down to me

She's lovely aloft and she's lovely below
But she's best on her back as you very well know

The blackbirds sang and the crow did caw
For to set this sail be up half past four

Away, away in St. George's town
The rats come batting the houses down

I'd give the world, boys, and all that I know
To turn and roll with me Lucy-oh

You pick her up, boys, and lay her down
And hang on tight as she bounces around

Tell me, what is that sailboat's name?
Tell me, tell me, what is her name?

As sung by A. L. Lloyd
