Uncle Sam
When there's rain and shine together,
Ch: Yo heave ho!
Uncle Sam is in the weather:
Ch: Yo heave ho!
When the sun shines through a fog,
Uncle Samuel drinks his grog:
When the blue sky shows in pieces,
Those are Uncle Samuel's breeches:
When a cloud is low and flat,
That is Uncle Samuel's hat:
When the wind is loud and bad,
Then Old Sam is getting mad:
When the wind begins to bellow,
Uncle Sam is in the cellar:
When the sky is clean and red,
Uncle Sam is gone to bed:
When you hear the wind a-roaring,
That is Uncle Sam a-snoring:
When you see the lightning spooning,
Then old Uncle Sam's harpooning:
When you hear the wind a-barking,
Uncle Sam has gone a-sharking:
When you see a santo-corpus,
Uncle Sam is arter a porpus:
When the water gabbles too much,
Uncle Sam is talking Dutch:
When the sea hawk's scream is heard,
He wants to know if there's Dutch on board:
When the wind's before the rain,
Soon you can make sail again:
Leland does not provide any melody.
