Listen in the reader

A night bird oft I'm in the cage, But my rum-chants ne'er fail, sirs; The dubsman's senses to engage, While I tip him leg-bail, sirs; There's not, for picking, to be had, A lad so light and larky, The cleanest angler on the pad In daylight or the darkey. Chorus. Frisk the cly, etc.
