No. 11 - Entrée Act and Opening Ensemble Act III
| Chorus: | Come, fill up a brimming flagon, Toss a Bumper down, lads! Old Dame Care is like a dragon That we fain would drown, lads; In the bay till dawn of day Our good old ship lies anchored; Drink all to our enterprise In a parting tankard! Over sea, aye, over sea, aye, Soon we shall be faring, Trusting, trusting any wind that blows, Ev'ry danger daring. Over sea, aye, over sea, aye, Not a heart despairing, Where the good ship taketh me, Knowing not nor caring |
| Men: | Yo! ho! |
| Girls: | Over the sea, ay, ay, |
| Men: | Yo! ho! |
| Girls: | Over the sea, yo! ho! |
| Men: | Yo! ho! Yo! ho! Yo! ho! Yo! ho! Yo! ho! Yo! ho! |
| 1st. Cavalier: | I leave a jilting jade behind, Who to spurn me was inclined. Naught to lose and all to gain, I set sail for this New Spain. |
| 2nd. Cavalier: | O! I have creditors, a score, Who are eager for my gore, It will cause them lots of grief and pain, My departure for New Spain, |
| Chorus: | Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! |
| 2nd. Cavalier: | You put it nicely Your case, my lad, is ours precisely. |
| 3rd. Cavalier: | I have a wife, a plague to life, With a temper, that's a Cane; O! gladly will I welcome strife Of any kind in this New Spain. |
| Chorus: | Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! You 'scape the fetter, you can't do worse, you may do better, Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Come, fill up a brimming flagon, Toss a Bumper down, lads! Old Dame Care is like a dragon That we fain would drown, lads; In the bay till dawn of day Our good old ship lies anchored; Drink all to our enterprise In a parting tankard! |
