[length: 03:31]
[00:07.77]When first I came to Liverpool I went upon the spree
[00:15.66]Me money at last I spent it fast got drunk as drunk could be
[00:23.36]And when my money was all gone it was then that I wanted more
[00:31.41]But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more
[00:47.04]I spent the night with Angeline to drunk to roll in bed
[00:54.92]Me watch it was new and my money was too
[00:59.17]And the morning with them she fled
[01:02.81]And as I roamed the streets of Bath the whores they all would roar
[01:10.55]There goes Jack Tarr the poor sailor
[01:14.58]He must go to sea once more
[01:25.73]As I walking down the street I ran into Rapper Brown
[01:34.09]I asked him for to take me in and he looked at me with a frown
[01:41.95]He said last time you was on board with me you job no score
[01:49.96]But I’ll take your advance and I’ll give you the chance
[01:54.01]And I’ll send you to sea once more
[02:05.08]They shipped me aboard of a whaling ship bound for the Arctic Sea
[02:13.18]Where the cold winds blow through the frost and the snow
[02:17.50]Jamaica rum would freeze
[02:21.22]Alas I had no luck with my gear for I left my money ashore
[02:28.90]It was then that I wished that I was there safe with the girl’s ashore
[02:44.42]Come all ye boat seafaring lads who listen to my song
[02:52.59]And when you come off them long trip pray that you don’t go wrong
[03:00.66]Take my advice drink no strong drink don’t go sleeping with no whores
[03:08.12]But get married lads and have all night in and go to to sea no more
