    From daylight till dark
    You can view this small barque
    With her smoke gushing
    High in the air
    Her Captain and crew
    Are all well-to-do
    They keep her
    In good repair
    If you travel her deck
    You wont find a speck
    Or in her saloon a stain
    For the man at the bar
    Is a right "folly tar"
    He's the pride of
    The Mary Jane
    5.
    Neither storm nor gale
    Will prevent her to sail
    When she carries a cargo of beer
    In hail, snow or rain
    She'll plough o'er the main
    Without either dread or fear
