INTRO 2 MEASURE FINGER PICK
Dm C Am
When first I came to Liverpool
Dm C Dm
I went upon a spree
Dm F
Me money alas I spent too fast
F C A
Got drunk as drunk could be
Dm
And when my money was all gone
F C A
'Twas then I wanted more
Dm C Am
But a man must be blind to make up his mind
Dm C Dm
To go to sea once more
2 MEASURE FINGER PICK
Dm C Am
I spent the night with Angeline
Dm C Dm
Too drunk to roll in bed
Dm F
My watch was new and my money too
F C A
In the mornin' with 'em she fled
Dm
And as I roamed the streets about
F C A
The whores they all would roar
Dm C Am
Here comes Jack Rack, the young sailin' lad
Dm C Dm
He must go to sea once more
2 MEASURE FINGER PICK
Dm C Am
As I was walkin' down the street
Dm C Dm
I met with Rapper Brown
Dm F
I asked for him to take me in
F C A
And he looked at me with a frown
Dm
He said last time you was paid off
F C A
With me you jobbed no score
Dm C Am
But I'll take your advance and I'll give ya's a chance
Dm C Dm
And I'll send you to sea once more
2 MEASURE FINGERPICK
Dm C Am
I hired me aboard of a whaling ship
Dm C Dm
Bound for the Artic seas
Dm F
Where the cold winds blow through the frost and the snow
F C A
And Jamaican rum would freeze
Dm
And worst and bear I'd no hard weather gear
F C A
For I'd lost all my money ashore
Dm C Am
'Twas then that I wished that I was dead
Dm C Dm
So I'd gone to sea no more
4 MEASURE FINGERPICK
Dm C Am
Some days we're catching whales me lads
Dm C Dm
And some days we're catching none
Dm F
With a twenty foot oar cocked in our hands
F C A
From four o'clock in the morn
Dm
And when the shades of night come in
F C A
We rest on our weary oar
Dm C Am
'Twas then I wished that I was dead
Dm C Dm
Or safe with the girls ashore
Dm C Am
Come all you bold seafarin' men
Dm C Dm
And listen to my song
Dm F
If you come off of them long trips
F C A
I'd have ya's not go wrong
Dm
Take my advice, drink no strong drink
F C A
Don't go sleeping with no whores
Dm C Am
Get married lads and have all night in
Dm C Dm
So you'll go to sea no more
