When first I came to Liverpool I went upon the spree
C AMe money at last I spent it fast got drunk as drunk could be
Dm C AAnd when my money was all gone it was then that I wanted more
But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more
Dm C Dm C Dm
I spent the night with Angeline to drunk to roll in bed
Me watch it was new and my money was too
And the morning with them she fled
Dm C AAnd as I roamed the streets of Bath the whores they all would roar
Dm CThere goes Jarr Tarr the poor sailor
He must go to sea once more
Dm C Dm C DmAs I walking down the steet I ran into Rapper Brown
C AI asked him for to take me in and he looked at me with a frown
He said last time you was on board with me you job no score
Dm CBut I'll take your advance and I'll give you the chance
Dm C Dm Dm C Dm C DmAnd I'll send you to sea once more
They shipped me aboard of a whaling ship bound for the Artic Sea
Where the cold winds blow thru the frost and the snow
C AJamaica rum would freeze
A'las I had no luck with my gear for I left my money ashore
Dm C Dm C DmIt was then that I wished that I was there safe with the girl's
Dmashore
Dm C Dm C Dm
Come all ye boat seafaring lads who listen to my song
C AAnd when you come off them long trip pray that you don't go wrong
Dm C ATake my advice drink no strong drink don't go sleeping with no whores
But get married lads and have all night in and go to to sea no more
