Off To Sea Once More

When first I come to Liverpool

I went upon a spree

Me money at last I spent to fast

Got drunk as drunk could be

And when my money was all gone

That then I wanted more

But a man must be blind

To make up his mind

To go to sea once more

I spent the night with Angeline

Too drunk to roll in bed

My watch was new

My money too

In the morning with them she fled

And as I roam the streets about

The whores they all would row

Here comes Jack Rack

The young sailor lad

He must go to sea once more

As I was walking down the street

I met with rapport Brown

I asked him for to take me in

And he looked at me with a frown

He said last time you was paid off

With me you job no score

But I'll take your advance

And I'll give you a chance

And I'll send you to sea once more

I hired me aboard on a whaling ship

Bound for the Arctic seas

Where the cold winds blow

Through the frost and the snow

And Jamaican rum would freeze

And the worst unbear

I had no hard weather gear

For I lost all my money ashore

Twas then I wished that I was dead

So I don't go to sea no more

Some days we're catching whales me lads and some days we're catching none

With a 20 foot oar dropped in our hands

From four o'clock in the morn

And when the shades of night come in

We rest on our weary oars

Twas then that I wish that I was dead

Or safe with the girls ashore

Come all you bold sea fairing men

And listen to my song

If you come off of them long trips

I'd have yas not go wrong

Take my advice drink no strong drink

Don't go sleeping with no whores

But get married lads have all night in

So youll go th sea no more
