[G] [Dm]
When first I [C] landed in Liverpool [Dm] I [C] went upon [Dm] a spree
Me money, alas, I spent it fast [F] Got [C] drunk as drunk [Dm] could be
And when that me money was all [F] gone T'was then [C] I [Dm] wanted more
But a man must be [C] blind to make up his mind To [F] go [C] to [Dm] sea once more
[F] Once more, [C] boys, once more [Dm] Go to sea [C] once more
[Dm] But a man must be blind [C] to make up his mind [F] To [C] go to sea [Dm] once more
I spent the night [C] with Angeline [Dm] Too [C] drunk to [Dm] roll in bed
Me watch was new and me money too [F] In the morning [C] with them [Dm] she'd fled
And as I walked the streets about [F] The whores [C] they [Dm] all did roar
There goes Jack Stratt, [C] the poor sailor lad [Dm] He must go [C] to [Dm] sea once more
Once [F] more, [C] boys, once more [Dm] Go to sea [C] once more
[Dm] There goes Jack [C] Stratt, the poor sailor [F] lad He must go [C] to [Dm] sea once more
And as I [C] walked the streets [Dm] about I met with [C] the [Dm] Ruff
I asked him for to take me [F] on And he looked [C] at [Dm] me with a frown
He said, last time you was paid [F] off With me [C] you [Dm] got no score
But I'll give you a chance [C] and I'll take your advance [F] And I'll send you [C] to [Dm] sea once more
Once [F] more, [C] boys, once [Dm] more Send you to [C] sea once more
[Dm] I'll give you a chance [F] and I'll [C] take your advance And I'll send you to sea [Dm] once more
He shipped me on board [C] of a whaling ship,
[Dm] Down for [C] the [Dm] Arctic seas,
Where the cold winds blow through the frost and snow,
[F] And Jamaica [C] [Dm] rum would freeze.
But worse to bear I'd no hard weather gear,
[F] For I'd spent all [C] me money [Dm] on shore.
Was then that I [C] wished that I was dead,
And could go to sea [Dm] no more.
[F] No more [C] boys, no [G] more,
[Dm] Go to sea [C] no more.
[Dm] Was then that I [C] wished that I was dead,
[F] And could go [C] to sea [Dm] no more.
So come all ye [C] all seafaring [Dm] men,
Who [C] listen [Dm] to me song.
When ye could muff them long [F] trips,
I'll have [C] you [Dm] not go wrong.
Take my advice, drink no strong drink,
[F] Don't go sleeping [C] [Dm] with them whores.
Get married instead, [C] and spend all night in [F] bed,
And [C] go to sea [D] no more.
[F] No more [C] boys, no [Dm] more,
Go to sea [C] no more.
[Dm] Get married instead, [C] and spend all night in bed,
[F] And go [C] to sea [D] no more.
