'''I'M LIKE A SKIFF ON THE OCEAN TOSSED'''. AKA and see "[[One evening having lost my way]]," "[[Happy Clown (The)]]," "[[Walpole]]." English, Air (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The air appears in John Gay's '''Beggar's Opera''' (1729) where it is sung by Lucy in the 3rd Act (to the tune of "[[One evening having lost my way]]"). 
<blockquote>
''I'm like a skiff on the ocean tost,''<br>
''Now high, now low, with each billow borne,''<br>
''With her rudder broke, and her anchor lost, ''<br>
''Deserted and all forlorn; ''<br>
''While thus I lie rolling and tossing all night,''<br>
''That Polly lies sporting on the seas of delight!''<br>
''Revenge, revenge, revenge,''<br>
''Shall appease my restless sprite!'' <br>
</blockquote>
It also appears in the second volume of Playford's '''Dancing Master''' (1718), published by John Young in London.
