Go To Sea No More: Go to Sea No More

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
 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
 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 Spratt, the sailorlad, he must go to sea once more
 And as I staggered the streets about, I met with the Rapper Brown
 I asked him for him to hire me on and he looked at me with a frown
 He said the last time you was paid off with me you could no score
 I'll give you a chance but take your
 Advance and send you to see once more
 Once more, boys, once more, go to sea once more
 I'll give you a chance and take your
 Advance and send you to see once more
 He put me on board of a whaling ship headed for the arctic seas
 The wind would blow through the ice
 And snow and Jamaican rum would freeze
 But worse to bear,
 I'd no hard weather gear I'd 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 you drunken sailorlads, who listens to me song
 When you get back from those long
 Long trips, I'll have you not go wrong
 Take my advice, drink no strong drink, don't sleep around with whores
 Get married instead and spend all night in bed and go to sea no more
 No more, boys, no more, go to sea no more
 Get married instead and spend all night in bed and go to sea no more
