about

Sailor Stephano sings this piece during act II, scene 2, the tune is attributed as traditional in John Caulfield's collection of Shakespearean music.

lyrics

The master, the swabber,
the boatswain, and I,
the gunner and his mate
loved Moll, Meg, and Marian, and Marjorie,
but none of us cared for Kate.
For she had a tongue with a tang,
would cry to a sailor, 'Go hang!'
She loved not the savour of tar nor of pitch,
yet a tailor might scratch her where'er she did itch.
Then to see boys and let her go hang!
The master, the swabber,
the boatswain, and I,
the gunner and his mate
loved Moll, Meg, and Marian, and Marjorie,
but none of us cared for Kate.
