Fire Marengo by Storm Weather Shanty Choir

Lift him up and carry him along
Fire Marengo, fire away
Put him down where he belongs
Fire Marengo, fire away
Ease him down and let him lay
Fire Marengo, fire away
Screw him in and there he’ll stay
Fire Marengo, fire away
Now stow him in his hole below
Fire Marengo, fire away
Stay he must and then he’ll go

Fire Marengo, fire away

When I get back to Liverpool town
Fire Marengo, fire away
I’ll drop a line to little Sally Brown
Fire Marengo, fire away
fire marengo fire away
fire marengo fire away
fire marengo fire away
fire marengo fire away
fire marengo fire away


I'll haul her high, and haul her low

I'll bust her blocks and make her go

Oh Sally she's a pretty little craft

Hotter to the fore and rounded aft

So screw the cotton oh screw it down
fire marengo fire
Let’s get the hell away from
Shiloh Town
