1
Ah, when Jack comes ashore
2
He's got money galore
3
And he's seldom cut short of a job
4
He can dress now as well
5
As any can tell
6
With a good silver watch in his fob
7
Poor Jack in his life
8
Was ne'er plagued with a wife
9
Though sometimes with lasses he links
10
He's a seafaring sailmaking gamboling capering
11
Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks
12
Oh, Jack Hinks
13
When inclined for to spend
14
He walks in with a friend
15
And with pleasure he sits himself down
16
He tips off his glass
17
And he winks at the lass
18
And he smiles if she happens to frown
19
And like a rattlin' true blue
20
When the reckoning comes due
21
On the table the money he clinks
22
He's a seafaring sailmaking gamboling capering
23
Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks
24
Bound home the other fall
25
We fell into a squall
26
Near the northernmost head of Cape Freels
27
We were washed away
28
Without further delay
29
At the thought how my spirit it chills
30
We were bashed on the rocks
31
Like a hard hunted fox
32
(Then) of death and destruction he thinks
33
He's a seafaring sailmaking gamboling capering
34
Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks
35
Oh, Jack Hinks
36
Jack without fail
37
Was out in that same gale
38
Having drove across Bonavist Bay
39
Oh Neptune did rail
40
As he handled all sail
41
And he had his two spars cut away
42
Oh, but Providence kind
43
Who so eases the wind
44
And on sailors so constantly thinks
45
He saved that seafaring sailmaking gamboling capering
46
Seafaring sailmaking gamboling capering
47
Seafaring sailmaking gamboling capering
48
Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks
