She was the parson’s daughter With the red and rosy cheeks Way-hey-he-hi-ho She went to church on Sunday And sang the anthem sweet There’s fire down below The parson was a misery So scraggy and so thin Way-hey-he-hi-ho Look here you mother fuckers If you lead a life of sin There’s fire down below He took his text from malaky And pulled a wary face Way-hey-he-hi-ho Well I fucked off for Africa And there I fell from grace There’s fire down below The parson’s little daughter Was as sweet as sugar candy Way-hey-he-hi-ho I said to her Us sailors would make lovers neat and handy There’s fire down below She says to me You sailors are a bunch of fucking liars Way-hey-he-hi-ho All of you are bound to hell To feed the fucking fires There’s fire down below There’s fire down below my lads And we must do what we ought to Way-hey-he-hi-ho Cause the fire is not half as hot As the parsons little daughter There’s fire down below There’s fire down below There’s fire down below There’s fire down below There’s fire down below
