CHORUS: Fall down, fall down, fall down, me Billy, We’re bound away for Americay, Fall down Billy O’Shea He sent him up to the topmast yard When he hit the deck he took it hard CHORUS: Fall down, fall down, fall down, me Billy, We’re bound away for Americay, Fall down Billy O’Shea We wrapped him up in the canvas sail And we lowered him gently o'er the rail CHORUS: Fall down, fall down, fall down, me Billy, We’re bound away for Americay, Fall down Billy O’Shea Over the side and down he goes To Davy Jones with a stitch through his nose CHORUS: Fall down, fall down, fall down, me Billy, We’re bound away for Americay, Fall down Billy O’Shea
