Info! You seem to have navigated to a song, these are still accessible, but you shouldn't see any links on my site to here. I have depricated storing lyrics on this site, party due to zero click google searches increasing, and me providing little value with a large time investment required. You can find all kinds of lyrics in various sea shanty books.

Poor Old Reuben Ranzo

[Solo]

Ranzo, boys, Ranzo

O poor old Reuben Ranzo

[Chorus]

Ranzo, boys, Ranzo

[Solo]

O poor old Reuben Ranzo

[Chorus]

Ranzo, boys, Ranzo

[Solo]

O! Ranzo was no sailor

[Chorus]

Ranzo, boys, Ranzo

[Solo]

He shipped on board a whaler

[Chorus]

Ranzo, boys, Ranzo

[Solo]

He shipped with Captain Taylor

[Chorus]

Ranzo, boys, Ranzo

[Solo]

The man that shot the sailor

[Chorus]

Ranzo, boys, Ranzo

[Solo]

He could not do his duty

[Chorus]

Ranzo, boys, Ranzo

[Solo]

He couldn't boil the coffee

[Chorus]

Ranzo, boys, Ranzo

[Solo]

The Captain being a good man

[Chorus]

Ranzo, boys, Ranzo

[Solo]

He taught him navigation

[Chorus]

Ranzo, boys, Ranzo

[Solo]

We took him to the gratings

[Chorus]

Ranzo, boys, Ranzo

[Solo]

And gave him nine and thirty

[Chorus]

Ranzo, boys, Ranzo

[Solo]

O! that was the end of Ranzo

[Chorus]

Ranzo, boys, Ranzo
