in maiz, in maiz, gentle, ease

y with the cutlass easy maiz,

steady with the cutlass gentle

boarding axe, plank by plank

up to the rigging lines, little

grog at the rigging lines after

maiz in, cutlass to cutlass

gentle blunderbuss nail shot,

easy grog in the gentle wound,

steady grog to the wound

maiz later with meatpie

and later the gentle rigging

line tale over meatpie and maiz
