Dm C Dm C Dm

When first I came to Liverpool I went upon the spree

C A

Me money at last I spent it fast got drunk as drunk could be

Dm C A

And when my money was all gone it was then that I wanted more

Dm C Dm C Dm

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

C A

And the morning with them she fled

Dm C A

And as I roamed the streets of Bath the whores they all would roar

Dm C

There goes Jarr Tarr the poor sailor

Dm C Dm DmCDmCDm

He must go to sea once more

Dm C Dm C Dm

As I walking down the steet I ran into Rapper Brown

C A

I asked him for to take me in and he looked at me with a frown

Dm C A

He said last time you was on board with me you job no score

Dm C

But I'll take your advance and I'll give you the chance

Dm C Dm DmCDmCDm

And I'll send you to sea once more

Dm C Dm C Dm

They shipped me aboard of a whaling ship bound for the Artic Sea

C A

Jamaica rum would freeze

Dm C A

A'las I had no luck with my gear for I left my money ashore

Dm C Dm C Dm

It was then that I wished that I was there safe with the girl's

Dm

ashore

Dm C Dm C Dm

Come all ye boat seafaring lads who listen to my song
