Priest and Nuns. A bowdlerized version of this pump chantey is to be found in F.P. Harlow's Chanteying Aboard American Ships. It's a 19th century musical setting of a joke that's still in circulation today.
The Priest and the Nuns
A priest in Austria thought one day
Ho ho ho,
He'd go to France without delay.
Halla-ralla-ray, halla-ralla-rah.
He'd go to France without delay.
Halla-ralla-ray ho ho!
And when the father came to France
Ho ho etc.
'Twas seven sick nuns he found by chance
Halla-ralla-ray etc.
He saw these nuns in the convent yard
All lying down on benches hard.
To one he said, "What can I do?
I'm priest as well as doctor, too."
The sick nun made a quick reply,
"Oh treat me, Father, ere I die."
He took in hand his mighty prick
And he fucked that nun so very quick.
The others ran that they might see,
And they asked the priest what could it be.
"A medicine stick in my hand I hold
To cure all sick nuns in my fold"
Another nun who lay close by
Cried, "Father, none so sick as I!"
He fucked each nun with all his might
And said he'd come another night.
Their pleasure gone they looked in vain
For the priest who carried the medicine cane.
