Oh, ye landsmen and ye seamen, come listen to my song
It's of a trick was playing on me, it won't delay you long
I came from sea the other [G] day, a fair girl I did meet
She kindly asked me to a dance, was up on Peter Street
Oh no, says I, me fair maid, though I can dance quite well
Tonight I'm bound for Wiggalow's town, it's where my people dwell
You'd better come with me, she said, for the distance is not far
And finding her so friendly, I jumped into a car
Well, as the dance was over, straight to the bed did go
Was a little did I ever think she'd pull my overthrow
Robbed my gold watch and thirty pounds a pack of fags and fled
And left me there stark [D] naked, alone upon [G] the bed
Now when [D] I awoke in the morning, it was nothing did [G] I spy
But a [A] woman's shirt and apron upon the bed did lie
I wrung [Eb] my hands, I tore my hair, I cried, what shall I [G] do
Ah, tonight I'm bound for [D] Wiggalow's town, no more will I see [G] you
Well, as the [Gm] streets were lonesome at the hour of two o'clock
I put [N] on this shirt and apron and marched down to the dock
The crew, they saw me coming, these words to me did say
My dear old chap, you struck a [G] snap since you've been gone away
Are those the new spring [D] fashions that the [G] ladies were on shore
Where is the shop you bought them at and is there [Em] any more
[Eb] The captain on the coroneck looked [E] at me with a frown
Saint [G] Jack, my boy, a better suit than that for thirty pounds
I would sir if I could sir if I only got the chance
But I met a girl on Peter [Ab] Street and she asked [G] me to a dance
She danced my heart's reception, I got robbed from head to feet
And I'll take my oath no more, I'll go to a dance on Peter Street
Oh, you landsmen and you seamen, a warning take by me
Be sure to choose good company when [Em] you go out on spree
Be sure to choose good company or you'll find yourself like me
With a [Ab] woman's shirt and apron for to fit
It's of a trick was playing on me, it won't delay you long
I came from sea the other [G] day, a fair girl I did meet
