  When first I came to Liverpool I went upon the  spree

                                                      C           A

  Me  money  at  last  I spent it fast got drunk as  drunk could be

       Dm                                             C      A

  And  when my money was all gone  it was then that I wanted more

        Dm                   C                   Dm    C        Dm

  But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more

  I spent the night with Angeline to drunk to roll in bed

  

  Me watch it was new and my money was too

  And the morning with them she fled

      Dm                                                C         A

  And as I roamed the streets of  Bath the whores they all would roar

        Dm                 C

  There goes Jarr Tarr the poor sailor

          Dm    C        Dm        Dm  C   Dm  C  Dm

  He must go to sea once more

  As I walking down the steet I ran into Rapper Brown

                                                  C         A

  I  asked him for to take me in and he looked at me with a frown

     Dm                                               C       A

  He said last time  you was on board     with me you job no  score

           Dm                         C

  But I'll take your advance and I'll give you the chance 	

           Dm          C        Dm    Dm C Dm C  Dm

  And I'll send you to sea once more

  Dm                           C            Dm            C     Dm

  They shipped me aboard of  a whaling ship bound for the Artic Sea

  

  Where the cold winds  blow thru the frost and the snow

           C         A

  Jamaica  rum would freeze

      Dm                                         C       A

  A'las I had no luck with my gear for I left my money ashore

         Dm                       C            Dm            C      Dm

  Come all ye boat seafaring lads who listen to my song

                                                     C        A

  And when you come off them long trip pray that you don't go wrong

  Dm                                                      C       A

  Take my advice  drink no strong drink don't go sleeping with no whores

          Dm                     C                Dm       C      Dm

  But get married lads and have all night  in and go to to sea no more
