I've got a wife and five little chillun
Believe I'll take a trip on the big MacMillan
Oh Saro Jane!

Oh, there's nothing to do but to sit down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane
Oh, rock about my Saro Jane
Oh, there's nothing to do but to sit down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane

Boiler busted and the whistle done blowed
The head captain done fell overboard
Oh Saro Jane!

Oh, there's nothing to do but to sit down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane
Oh, rock about my Saro Jane
Oh, there's nothing to do but to sit down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane

Engine gave a crack and the whistle gave a squall
The engineer gone to the hole in the wall
Oh Saro Jane!

Oh, there's nothing to do but to sit down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane
Oh, rock about my Saro Jane
Oh, there's nothing to do but to sit down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane
Yankees build boats for to shoot them rebels
My musket's loaded and I'm gonna hold it level
Oh Saro Jane!

Oh, there's nothing to do but to set down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane
Oh, rock about my Saro Jane
Oh there's nothing to do but to set down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane
