Well, oh, 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!
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,
A-ha, me boys, a-riddle-i-day!
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"
A-ha, me boys, a-riddle-i-day!
A-ha, me boys, a-riddle-i-day!

Well, "Aye," says Lukey, "I don't care"
Ha, me boys!
"Aye," 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!
A-ha, me boys, a-riddle-i-day!

Oh, Lukey's rolling out his grub,
Ha, me boys!
Lukey's rolling out his grub,
One split pea and a ten pound tub,
A-ha, me boys, a-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 planted 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,
It's the prettiest boat that you've ever seen,
A-ha, me boys, a-riddle-i-day!
A-ha, me boys, a-riddle-i-day!
A-ha, me boys, a-riddle-i-day!
