Lift him up and carry him along
Fire Maringo, fire him away
Put him down where he belongs
Fire Maringo, fire him away!

Ease him down and let him lay
Fire Maringo, fire him away
Screw him in and there he'll stay
Fire Maringo, fire him away

Put him in his hole below
Fire Maringo, fire him away
Stay he must and then he'll go
Fire Maringo, fire him away

When I get back to Liverpool town
Fire Maringo, fire him away
I'll toss a line to little Sally Brown
Fire Maringo, fire him away

I'll haul her high and haul her low
Fire Maringo, fire him away
I'll bust her blocks and make her go
Fire Maringo, fire him away

Sally is a pretty little craft
Fire Maringo, fire him away
Hot shot to the fore and rounded in the aft
Fire Maringo, fire him away

Screw the cart and screw him down
Fire Maringo, fire him away
Let's get the hell back to Liverpool town
Fire Maringo, fire him away
Fire Maringo, fire him away
