And we heaved them over and out of sight, with a yo-heave-ho, and a fare-ye-well, and a sullen plunge in a sullen swell, ten fathoms deep on the road to hell...
Now they never reopened that worthless pit; They just placed a marbled stand in front of it. These few words are written on that stand: "At the bottom of this mine lies a big, big man - Big John"

They just placed a marbled stand in front of it.

We'll throw him in that old dark well
Full fifty fathoms deep

She might have split up
Or she might have capsized.

Down below the ocean
where I want to be
she may be
