Crack Was 90

ah weren't we the rare old stock
 spent the evening getting locked
 in the ace of hearts
 where the high stools were engaging
 over by the butt bridge down by the dock
 the boat she sailed at 5 o'clock
 ah hurry now lads says whack
 or before we're there sure we'll all be back
 carry him if you can
 oh the craic was 90 in the isle of man
 before we reached the Alexander base
 the ding dong we did surely raise
 in the bar of the boat had great sport
 as the ship she sailed out from the port
 landing up in the Douglas head
 enquiring for a vacant bed
 to the dining room soon got shown
 by a decent woman from up the road
 bate that if you can
 oh the craic was 90 in the isle of man
 yes the craic was 90 in the isle of man
 well who wouldn't be a sailor lad sailing on the main
 to gain the good of all his captain's good name
 he came ashore one evening for to be
 and that was the beginning of me true love and me
 and its home boys home home I'd like to be
 home for a while in me own country
 where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree
 are all growing greener in the old country
 well I asked her for a candle for to light me way to bed
 and likewise for a handkerchief to tie around me head
 she tended to my needs like a young maid ought to do
 and then I said to her now would you lep in with me too
 and its home boys home home I'd like to be
 home for a while in me own country
 where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree
 are all growing greener in the old country
 well she jumped into bed making no alarm
 thinking a young sailor lad could do to her no harm
 well I hugged her and I kissed her the whole night long
 till she wished the short night had been 7 years long
 and it's home boys home home I'd like to be
 home for a while in me own country
 where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree
 are all growing greener in the old country
