Fire Down Below

cho: There is fire in the lower hold,
     There's fire down below,
     Fire in the main well,
     The captain didn't know.

There is fire in the forepeak,
Fire in the main,
Fire in the windlass,
Fire in the chain.

There is fire in the foretop,
Fire down below,
Fire in the chain-plates,
The bosun didn't know.

There is fire up aloft,
There is fire down below
Fire in the galley,
The cook he didn't know.
