Poor old man came ridin' along
And we say so,
And we hope so.
Poor old man came ridin' along
Poor old man.

Well poor old man your horse he must die
And we say so,
And we hope so.
Poor old man your horse he must die
Poor old man.

Well 30 days have come and gone
And we say so,
And we hope so.
30 days have come and gone
Poor old man.

And now we are on a good month's pay
And we say so,
And we hope so.
I think I hear our wharfing man say
Poor old man.

So give them grog for the 30th day
And we say so,
And we hope so.
Give them their grog for the 30th day
Poor old man.

Then up hail ox to the old main yard arm
And we say so,
And we hope so.
Then cut him drip and do him no harm
Poor old man.

A poor old man came ridin' along
