[tab]
When first I came to Liverpool I went upon the spree[/tab]
[tab]
Me money at last I spent it fast got drunk as drunk could be[/tab]
[tab]
And when my money was all gone it was then that I wanted more[/tab]
[tab]
But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more[/tab]
[tab]
I spent the night with Angeline to drunk to roll in bed[/tab]
Me watch it was new and my money was too
[tab]
And the morning with them she fled[/tab]
[tab]
And as I roamed the streets of Bath the s they all would roar[/tab]
[tab]
There goes Jarr Tarr the poor sailor[/tab]
[tab]
He must go to sea once more[/tab]
[tab]
As I walking down the steet I ran into Rapper Brown[/tab]
[tab]
I asked him for to take me in and he looked at me with a frown[/tab]
[tab]
He said last time you was on board with me you job no score[/tab]
[tab]
But I ll take your advance and I ll give you the chance[/tab]
[tab]
And I ll send you to sea once more[/tab]
[tab]
They shipped me aboard of a whaling ship bound for the Artic Sea[/tab]
Where the cold winds blow thru the frost and the snow
[tab]
Jamaica rum would freeze[/tab]
[tab]
A las I had no luck with my gear for I left my money ashore[/tab]
[tab]
It was then that I wished that I was there safe with the girl s[/tab]
[tab]
ashore[/tab]
[tab]
Come all ye boat seafaring lads who listen to my song[/tab]
[tab]
And when you come off them long trip pray that you don t go wrong[/tab]
[tab]
Take my advice drink no strong drink don t go sleeping with no s[/tab]
[tab]
But get married lads and have all night in and go to to sea no more[/tab]
