Off to sea once more


When first I came to LiverpoolI went upon a spree
Me money alas I spent too fast
Got drunk as drunk could be
And when my money was all gone'Twas 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 AngelineToo drunk to roll in bed
My watch was new and money too
In the mornin' with 'em she fled
And as I roamed the streets about
The whores they all would roar
Here comes Jack Rack, the young sailin' lad
He must go to sea once more
As I was walkin' down the street
I met with Rapper BrownI asked for him to take me in
And he looked at me with a frown
He said "Last time you was paid off
With me you jobbed no score
But I'll take your advance and I'll give ya's a chance
And I'll send you to sea once more
I hired me aboard of a whaling ship
Bound for the Artic seas
Where the cold winds blow through the frost and the snow
And Jamaican rum would freeze
And worst and bear I'd no hard weather gear
For I'd lost all my money ashore'Twas then that I wished that I was dead
So I'd gone to sea no more
Some days we're catching whales me lads
And some days we're catching none
With a twenty foot oar cocked in our hands
From four o'clock in the morn
And when the shades of night come in
We rest on our weary oar'Twas then I wished that I was dead
Or safe with the girls ashore
Come all you bold seafarin' men
And listen to my song
If you come off of them long tripsI'd have ya's not go wrong
Take my advice, drink no strong drinkDon't go sleeping with no whores
Get married lads and have all night in
So you'll go to sea no more

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
