My Last Night in Baltimore

We were fresh from the sea
 Our pockets full of money
 When me and me mateys, we headed for the bar
 No sooner had we arrived
 Than one pint turned to five
 And a lassie grabbed me by the belt and dragged me towards the stairs
 Oh! Mother, don't wake me
 Don't jostle or shake me
 I spent all night drinkin' with the ladies by the shore
 And if I never wake
 Don't cry and don't shriek
 Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore
 There were redheads, there were blondes
 Brunettes of which I'm fond
 We plied 'em with cheap alcohol, so they wouldn't leave our side
 Before the night was through
 We each had one or two
 And by midnight, our young cabin boy had found himself a bride
 Oh! Mother, don't wake me
 Don't jostle or shake me
 I spent all night drinkin' with the ladies by the shore
 And if I never wake
 Don't cry and don't shriek
 Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore
 We drank 15 kegs of beer
 Whiskeys from far and near
 We ate up all their venison, we choked down all their stew
 And when we were run dry
 We would not just stand by
 A raiding party went next door to liberate more brew
 Oh! Mother, don't wake me
 Don't jostle or shake me
 I spent all night drinkin' with the ladies by the shore
 And if I never wake
 Don't cry and don't shriek
 Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore
 Oh! Mother, don't wake me
 Don't jostle or shake me
 I spent all night drinkin' with the ladies by the shore
 And if I never wake
 Don't cry and don't shriek
 Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore
 Things started to go queer
 When Pat stole Kelly's beer
 So he put his fist into Pat's face and started up a fight
 Well, the brawl raged all around
 And we tore that tavern down
 But we rescued all the kegs, so we could drink on through the night
 Oh! Mother, don't wake me
 Don't jostle or shake me
 I spent all night drinkin' with the ladies by the shore
 And if I never wake
 Don't cry and don't shriek
 Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore
 Now me head is sore and achy
 Me bones are bruised and creaky
 And I don't truly expect that I should live to see the light
 So tell me girl in Leicester
 'Til she dies, I'll miss her
 But in the mornin' if I'm livin', I'll be back tomorrow night!
 Oh! Mother, don't wake me
 Don't jostle or shake me
 I spent all night drinkin' with the ladies by the shore
 And if I never wake
 Don't cry and don't shriek
 Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore (one more time!)
 Oh! Mother, don't wake me
 Don't jostle or shake me
 I spent all night drinkin' with the ladies by the shore
 And if I never wake
 Don't cry and don't shriek
 Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore
 Just sing the glorious
 Just sing the glorious
 Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore, woo!
