DmWhen first I came to CLiverpool I Dmwent Cupon the Dm spree
Me money at last I spent it fast got drunk as dCrunk could bAe
And Dmwhen my money was all gone it was then that I Cwanted Amore
But a Dmman must be blind to Cmake up his mind to Dmgo to Csea once Dmmore
Dm C Dm C Dm
DmI spent the night with CAngeline to Dmdrunk to Croll inDm bed
Me watch it was new and my money was too
And the morning with Cthem she fAled
And Dmas I roamed the streets of Bath the whores they aCll would rAoar
There Dmgoes Jarr Tarr the Cpoor sailor
He must Dmgo to Csea once Dmmore Dm C Dm C Dm
DmAs I walking Cdown the steet I Dmran into CRapper BDmrown
I asked him for to take me in and he looked at Cme with a Afrown
He Dmsaid last time you was on board with me you Cjob no Ascore
But I'll Dmtake your advance and I'll Cgive you the chance
And I'll Dmsend you to Csea once Dmmore Dm C Dm C Dm
DmThey shipped me aboard of a Cwhaling ship Dmbound for the CArtic DmSea
Where the cold winds blow thru the frost and the snow
Jamaica Crum would Afreeze
A'laDms I had no luck with my gear for I left my Cmoney asAhore
It was Dmthen that I wished that CI was there Dmsafe with the Cgirl's Dm
Dmashore
Dm C Dm C Dm
DmCome all ye boat sCeafaring lads who Dmlisten Cto my Dmsong
And when you come off them long trip pray that you Cdon't go Awrong
DmTake my advice drink no strong drink don't go sleeping Cwith no Awhores
But get Dmmarried lads and have aCll night in and Dmgo to to Csea no Dmmore
