TRIM BUILT WHERRY, THE. English, Air (3/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. "The Trim Built Wherry" is an English song composed by songwriter and composer for the stage wikipedia:Charles_Dibdin (). The first two stanzas begin:

Then farewel my trim-built wherry,
Oars, and coat, and badge farewel;
Never more at Chelsea ferry,
Shall your Thomas take a spell.

But to hope and peace a stranger,
In the battle's heat I'll go,
Where exposed to every danger,
Some friendly ball may lay me low.
