A Hundred Years Ago 
(alternate:) 
A Hundred Years Ago 
Oh, a hundred years on the Wastern Shore Oh, aye, oh! A hundred years on the Eastern Shore A hundred years ago! (or 'Tis time for us to go!) 
Ol' Bully John from Baltimore I knew him well, that son-of-a-whore (or ...on the Eastern Shore) 
Ol' Bully John was the boy for me A bully on shore and a bucko at sea 
Ol' Bully John I knew him well But now he'd dead and gone to hell. 
Oh were you ever in Liverpool? In Liverpool, that Yankee school 
Oh a hundred years is a very long time Oh a hundred years is a very long time
