Go To Sea No More Songtext

Go To Sea No MoreWhen first I landed in LiverpoolI went upon the spreeMy money at last, I spent it fastgot drunk as drunk could beAnd when me money was all goneit was then I wanted moreBut a man must be blindto make up his mindto go to sea once moreI spent that night with Angelinetoo drunk to roll in bedMy watch was new and my money, tooin the morning with them she´d fledAnd as I roamed the streets aroundthe whores they all did roar"Here comes Jack Sprattthe poor sailor ladhe must go to sea once moreAs I was walking´ down the streetI met with Rapper BrownI asked him for to take me inbut he looked at me with a frownHe said "Last time ye was paid offwith me ye chaulked no scoreBut I´ll give ye a chanceand I´ll take your advanceand I´ll send ye to sea once moreHe shipped me aboard of a whalin´ shipbound for the Arctic seaWhere the cold winds blew throughthe frost and snowJamaica rum would freezeAnd worse to bear I´d no hard-weather gearfor I´d spent all my money ashoreIt was then I wished that I was daedto go to sea no moreCome all you bold sea-faring menthat listen to my songWhen you come off of them long tripsI´d have you not go wrongTake me advice, drink no strong drinkdon´t go sleepin´ with no whoreBut get married, lads, and fall all night inand go to sea no moreOnce more boye, once moregoing to sea once moreBut a man must be blind to make up his mindto go to sea once more
