Prompt

I's the b'y that builds the boat And I's the b'y that sails her I's the b'y that catches the fish And brings them home to Liza. (or Lizer) Hip yer partner, Sally Thibault Hip yer partner, Sally Brown Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton's Harbour All around the circle! Sods and rinds to cover your flake Cake and tea for supper Codfish caught in the spring o' the year Fried in maggoty butter. I don't want your maggoty fish[5] They're no good for winter I could buy as good as that Down in Bonavista. I took Liza to a dance As fast as she could travel And every step that she did take Was up to her knees in gravel. Susan White, she's out of sight Her petticoat wants a border Old Sam Oliver in the dark He kissed her in the corner.
