_ _ _ _ Oh, you landsmen and you semen, come listen to my song.
It's of a trinic, was playing a mebble, won't delay long.
I came from sea the other day, a fair girl I didn't meet.
She kindly asked me to dance with some on Peter Street. _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ Long now, says I, me fair maid, though I can ask why and while.
Tonight I'm bound for Bicklelow'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 her car.
Well, as the dance was over, straight to the bed did go.
Was a little did I ever think she'd pull [C#m] my overthrow.
[E] Rubbed my gold watch and thirty pounds, a pack of [C#m] flags and flat.
[E] And left me near stark naked, [C#] alone upon the bed.
[E] Now when I awoke in the morning, it wasn't a thing that I spy.
But a woman's shirt and apron upon the [C#m] bed did lie.
[E] I wrung my hands, I tore my hair, I cried, [C#] what shall I do?
[E] Ah, tonight I'm bound for Bicklow's town, [B] nor will I [D#] see you.
Well, as the streets were [C#m] lonesome at [A] the hour of two o'clock.
[E] I put on [C#] this shirt and apron and [E] marched on through the dock.
[C#m] The crew, they saw me coming, these [G#m] words to me did say.
[E] My dear old chap, you've struck a [A] snap since you've been gone away.
[E] Are those illustrious facts, and that the ladies were unsure?
Where is the shop you bought a map in, is there [C#m] any more?
[E] The captain on the board at anchor looked at me [C#m] with a frown.
[E] St.
Jack, I'd buy a better suit and [B] act for thirty pounds.
[E] I would sir, if I could sir, if I only got the chance.
But I met a girl on Peter Street, she [C#m] asked me to dance.
[E] She danced my heart's deception, I got robbed from [C#m] head to feet.
[E] And I'll take my oath no more, I'll go to a [B] dance on Peter Street.
[E] Oh, you [B] lads, when I'm your [C#m] seaman, a [A] warning's taken by me.
[C#m] Be sure to choose good company when [E] you go out on a spree.
[C#] Be sure to choose good company [G#m] or you'll find yourself like me.
[E] With a woman's shirt and apron, what a [F#] bit too out for [E] see. _ _ _
