 Well old Lukey's  boat is painted green,
Ha,  me boys!
Lukey's  boat is painted green,
 The prettiest  boat that you've ever seen,
 A-ha,  me boys  a-riddle-i-day!
 Well oh, Lukey's  boat's got a fine  fore cutty,
Ha,  me boys!
Lukey's  boat's got a fine  fore cutty,
 And every  seam is chinked  with putty,
 
-ha,  me boys -riddle-i-day!
 Altogether,  A-ha,  me boys  a-riddle-i-day!
 Well I  says "Lukey the blinds  are down"
Ha,  me boys!
I  says "Lukey the blinds  are down"
 "Me wife  is dead and she's underground"
 
-ha,  me boys -riddle-i-day!
 A-ha,  me boys  a-riddle-i-day!
 Well I  says Lukey "I  don't care"
Ha,  me boys!
I  says Lukey "I  don't care"
 "I'll get  me another in the spring  of the year"
 A-ha,  me boys  a-riddle-i-day!
 
-ha,  me boys -riddle-i-day!
 Well old Lukey's rolling out  his grub,
Ha,  me boys!
Lukey's  rolling out  his grub,
One  split pea in a ten  pound tub,
 
-ha,  me boys -riddle-i-day!
 A-ha,  me boys  a-riddle-i-day!
 Well, Lukey's  boat's got high-topped sails,
Ha,  me boys!
Lukey's  boat's got high-topped sails,
 The sheet  was planched with copper  nails,
 A-ha,  me boys  a-riddle-i-day!
 A-ha,  me boys  a-riddle-i-day!
Lukey's  boat is painted green,
Ha,  me boys!
Lukey's  boat is painted green,
 The prettiest  boat that you've ever seen,
 A-ha,  me boys  a-riddle-i-day!
 Altogether,  A-ha,  me boys  a-riddle-i-day!
 A-ha,  me boys  a-riddle-i-day!
 One more,  A-ha,  me boys a riddle-i-day!
