Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade

The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five

But I am still alive

I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico

I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow

And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed

I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below

Across the Universe divide

And when I reach the other side
