AmWhen first I came to GLiverpool I Amwent Gupon the Am spree
Me money at last I spent it fast got drunk as dGrunk could bEe
And Amwhen my money was all gone it was then that I Gwanted Emore
But a Amman must be blind to Gmake up his mind to Amgo to Gsea once Ammore
Am G Am G Am
AmI spent the night with GAngeline to Amdrunk to Groll inAm bed
Me watch it was new and my money was too
And the morning with Gthem she fEled
And Amas I roamed the streets of Bath the whores they aGll would rEoar
There Amgoes Jarr Tarr the Gpoor sailor
He must Amgo to Gsea once Ammore Am G Am G Am
AmAs I walking Gdown the steet I Amran into GRapper BAmrown
I asked him for to take me in and he looked at Gme with a Efrown
He Amsaid last time you was on board with me you Gjob no Escore
But I'll Amtake your advance and I'll Ggive you the chance
And I'll Amsend you to Gsea once Ammore Am G Am G Am
AmThey shipped me aboard of a Gwhaling ship Ambound for the GArtic AmSea
Where the cold winds blow thru the frost and the snow
Jamaica Grum would Efreeze
A'laAms I had no luck with my gear for I left my Gmoney asEhore
It was Amthen that I wished that GI was there Amsafe with the Ggirl's Am
Amashore
Am G Am G Am
AmCome all ye boat sGeafaring lads who Amlisten Gto my Amsong
And when you come off them long trip pray that you Gdon't go Ewrong
AmTake my advice drink no strong drink don't go sleeping Gwith no Ewhores
But get Ammarried lads and have aGll night in and Amgo to to Gsea no Ammore
