Sea Shanties Off to Sea Once More

Текст песни "Sea Shanties — Off to Sea Once More"

When first I landed in Liverpool I went upon a spree
Me hard earned cash, well I spent it fast got drunk as drunk could be
And when me money it was all gone 'twas then I wanted more
But a man must be blind to make up his mind and go to sea once more

Once more, boys, once more, go to sea once more
But a man must be blind to make up his mind and go to sea once more

That night I slept with Angeline too drunk to roll in bed
Me cloths was new and me money was too in the morning with them she fled
And as I rolled the streets about the tarts they all did roar
And there goes Jack Strapp, the poor sailorlad, he must go to sea once more

Once more, boys, once more, go to sea once more
There goes Jack Spratt, the poor sailorlad, he must go to sea once more

And as I was rollin' the streets about I met old Rapper Brown
I asked him then to take me in They looked at me with a frown
Says he last time you was paid off with me you chuck no score
But I'll take your advance and I'll give you a chance and you'll go to sea once more

Once more, boys, once more, go to sea once more
'cause I'll take your advance and I'll give a chance and you'll go to sea once more

Come all you bold young sailor lads and listen to me song
When you come off them damn long trips I'll tell what goes wrong
Take my advice, don't drink strong drinks, don't sleep around with whores
Get married instead, spend all night in bed and go to sea no more

No more, boys, no more, go to sea no more
Get married instead and spend all night in bed and go to sea no more
No more, boys, no more, go to sea no more
Get married instead and spend all night in bed and go to sea no more
