When I was a youngster I sailed with the rest
On a Liverpool
packet bound out for the West.
We anchored one day in the harbor of Cork,
Then we put out
for the port of New York.
And it's row, row bullies, row,
Them Liverpool judies
have got us in tow
For forty two days we was hungry and sore.
Oh, the winds was
again'us, the gales, they did roar.
But off Battery Point we did anchor at last
With our
jib'boom hove to and the canvas all fast.
The boardinghouse masters was off in a
trice
A'shouting and promising all that was nice,
And one fat old crimp took a fancy to
me.
Says he, ''You're a fool, lad, to follow the sea.''
Says he, ''There's a job as is
waiting for you,
With lashings o'liquor and bugger'all to do.''
Says he, ''Wha'd'yer say,
lad, will you jump her too?''
Says I, ''You old bastard, I'm damned if I do.''
But
the best of intentions, they never goes far.
After thirty two days at the door of a bar
I
tossed off me liquor and what do you think?
That rotten old bastard had drugs in me
drink.
The next I remember, I woke in the morn
On a three skys'l yarder bound south
round Cape Horn.
With an old suit of oilskins and two pairs of socks
And a bloomin' great
head and a dose of the pox.
Now all you young sailors take a warnin' by me.
Keep and
eye on yer drinks when the liquor is free.
And pay no attention to runner or whore
When
your hat's on your head and your feet's on the shore
