lyrics

Thing on the ship ain;t always very good
one spark flys now we're burning up the wood
be sure to cap your pipe when smokin in the hold
to the devil with us all boys there's fire down below
Fire, fire, fire down below,
Fetch a bucket of water,
Fire down below.

Fire in the galley, fire in the house,
Fire in the beef kid, scorching the scouse..
Fire in the lifeboat, fire in the gig,
Fire in the pig-stye roasting the pig
Fire, fire, fire down below,
Fetch a bucket of water,
Fire down below.

Fire in the store room spoiling the food,
Fire on the orlop burning the wood..
Pass along the buckets boys, let the old girl spout
Double bank the pump , we'll drown the fire out
Fire, fire, fire down below,
Fetch a bucket of water,
Fire down below.

Fire in the cabin, fire in the hold,
Fire in the strong room melting the gold
Fire round the capstan, fire on the mast,
Fire on the main deck, burning it fast.
Fire, fire, fire down below,
Fetch a bucket of water,
Fire down below.

The old man a terror, allays cussin' at the crew,
Let the old tub burns, boys, Give ol scratch his due.

There's fire in the fore-top, fire in the main
We thought we had it drownded and here it comes again.
Fire on the waters, fire high above,
Fire in our hearts for the friends that we love.
Fire, fire, fire down below,
Fetch a bucket of water,
Fire down below.
