    “All those girls
    who wore the red shoes,

    They were played with.”

    The good red fires were burning bright in every ‘longshore home;
    The windows sparkled clear, and the chimneys volleyed out;
    And I vow we sniffed the victuals as the vessel went about.”

    And her shoes were number nine;”
