I've got a wife and five little children
Believe I'll make a trip on the big Macmillan
Oh Saro Jane

   Oh there's nothing to do but to set down and sing
   And rock about my Saro Jane
   Oh rock about my Saro Jane
   Oh rock about my Saro Jane
   Oh there's nothing to do but to set down and sing
   And rock about my Saro Jane

Boiler busted and the whistle done blowed
The head captain done fell overboard
Oh Saro Jane

Engine gave a crack and the whistle gave a squall
The engineer gone ti the hole in the wall
Oh Saro Jane

Yankees built boats for to shoot them rebels
My musket's loaded and I'm gonna hold her level
Oh Saro Jane
