Of Marbendill - Down I Go

Please let me down again.

I was fixing my mother’s chimney

Leave me alone, release me back into the ocean

You’ll stay with me, you’ll stay with me

I’ll head to shore when I’m good and ready

You’ll stay with me, you’ll stay with me

I’ll stay and fish 'til I’m good and ready

First joke: kick your loyal dog

Second joke: trip over the hummock

Third joke: embrace your cheating wife

Release me back into the ocean

I’ve got a scret.

I will reveal it to you

Just lt me down.

I will reveal it to you

I’ll take you down my friend.

Take you down to the ocean

Just tell me why you laughed.

Just tell me why you laughed thee times

Dig up the hummock that you tripped over

And under it you’ll find something to make you change your mind

Take me back down to the ocean

I’ll take you down my friend, take you down to the ocean

You told me why you laughed.

You told me where to find the gold

The time is well remembered when Marbendill laughed of yore

How fawning sweet the mistress when her man came ashore

Kissing him and fondling, perfidious to the core

The foolish man distrusted and kicked his dog, therefore

Gold!

You have done a good deed

I will reward you duly

Keep your eyes open

And seize the opportunity
