1
When first I came to Liverpool
2
I went upon the spree
3
Me money at last I spent it
4
Fast got drunk as drunk could be
5
And when my money was all gone
6
It was then that I wanted more
7
But a man must be blind to make up his mind
8
To go to sea once more
9
I spent the night with Angeline
10
Too drunk to roll in bed
11
Me watch, it was new and my money was too
12
And the morning with them she fled
13
And as I roamed the streets of Bath
14
The whores they all would roar
15
There goes Jarr Tarr the poor sailor
16
He must go to sea once more
17
As I walking down the street
18
I ran into Rapper Brown
19
I asked him for to take me in
20
And he looked at me with a frown
21
He said, "Last time you was on board with me
22
You job no score, but I'll take your advance
23
And I'll give you the chance
24
And I'll send you to sea once more"
25
They shipped me aboard of a whaling ship
26
Bound for the Arctic Sea
27
Where the cold winds blow through the frost and the snow
28
Jamaica rum would freeze
29
Alas! I had no luck with my gear
30
For I left my money ashore
31
It was then that I wished
32
That I was there, safe with the girls ashore
33
Come all ye boat seafaring lads
34
Who listen to my song
35
And when you come off them long trip
36
Pray that you don't go wrong
37
Take my advice, drink no strong drink
38
Don't go sleeping with no whores
39
But get married lads and have all night in
40
And go to to sea no more
