'Sam, Sam, pick oop the musket,'
Said Captain, for strictness renowned.
Sam said 'He knocked it doon, reason he picks it oop,
or it stays where it is, on the ground.'

It caused quite a stir when the Captain arrived
To ‘find out the cause of the trouble’
And every man there, all excepting Old Sam,
Was full of excitement and bubble.
