Apples in the Basket
'Deed I am in love with you
Out all day in the foggy dew
'Deed I am in love with you
Mussels in the corner

I took Jenny to a ball
Jenny couldn't dance at all
Sailed her up 'longside the wall
Left her there till Sunday

'Deed I am in love with you
Out all day in the foggy dew
'Deed I am in love with you
Mussels in the corner

All the people from Belle Isle
They don't get up till half past nine
Wash their face in kerosene oil
Polly, you're a corker

'Deed I am in love with you
Out all day in the foggy dew
'Deed I am in love with you
Mussels in the corner

Here they come as thick as flies
Dirty shirts and dirty ties
Dirty rings around their eyes
Dirty old Tor Bay men

'Deed I am in love with you
Out all day in the foggy dew
'Deed I am in love with you
Mussels in the corner

Here they come as white as ghosts
Bay men in their little boats
It's a wonder that they floats
Dirty old Tor Bay men

'Deed I am in love with you
Out all day in the foggy dew
'Deed I am in love with you
Mussels in the corner

Ask a Bay man for a smoke
He will say his pipe is broke
Ask a Bay man for a chew
He will bite it off for you

'Deed I am in love with you
Out all day in the foggy dew
'Deed I am in love with you
Mussels in the corner
