Going Over the Sea
from the MMF! Songbook

Going Over the Sea is a folksong from Canada.

Lyrics
Verse 1
When I was one, I swallowed a bun,
Going over the sea.
I jumped aboard a sailorman's ship,
And the sailor said to me,

Chorus
"Going over, going under,
stand at attention,
like a soldier,
With a one, two, three."

Verses 2-10
When I was two, I tied my shoe, going over the sea...
When I was three, I banged my knee, going over the sea...
When I was four, I shut the door, going over the sea...
When I was five, I danced the jive, going over the sea...
When I was six, I picked up sticks, going over the sea...
When I was seven, I went to heaven, going over the sea...
When I was eight, I learned to skate, going over the sea...
When I was nine, I climbed a vine, going over the sea...
When I was ten, I started again, going over the sea...
