When first I landed in Liverpool
I went upon a spree
Me money alas, I spent it fast
Got drunk as drunk can be
And when me money it was all gone
Twas then I wanted more
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
Me watch was new and me money too
In the morning with them she fled
And as I walked the streets about
The girls they all did roar
There goes Jack Sprat the sailor lad
He must go to sea once more
And as I staggered the streets about
I met with Rapper Brown
I asked him for to hire me
He looked at me with a frown
He said the last time that you was paid off
Worked me a good no score
I'll give you a chance but take your advance
And send you to sea once more
Once more boys, once more
Go to sea no more
I'll give you a chance but take your advance
And send you to sea once more
He put me aboard a whalin' ship
Headed for the Arctic Sea
The wind would blow through the ice and snow
Jamaican rum would freeze
And worst to bear I'd no hard weather gear
I spent me money on shore
Twas then I wished that I were dead
And could go to sea no more
No more boys, no more
Go to sea no more
Twas then I wished that I were dead
And could go to sea no more
No more boys, no more
Go to sea no more
Twas then I wished that I were dead
And could go to sea no more
Come all ye drunken sailor lads
Who listens to me song
When you get back from those long, long trips
I'll have ye's not go wrong
Take my advice, drink no strong drink
Don't sleep around with whores
Get married instead, spend on it in bed
And go to sea no more
