Ye mariners all as ye pass by
come in and drink when you are dry
come spend my lads your money brisk
and pop your nose in a jug of this
Ye tipplers all as ye pass by
come in and drink when you are dry
come spend my lads your money brisk
and pop your nose in a jug of this
Ye tipplers all if ye've half a crown
you're welcome all for to sit down
come in sit down think nought amiss
to pop your nose in a jug of this
Oh now i'm old and can scarcely crawl
i've a long grey beard and a head that's bald
crown my desire, fulfil my bliss
a pretty girl and a jug of this
Oh when i'm in my grave and dead
and all my sorrows are past and fled
transform me then into a fish
and let me swim in a jug of this
Ye mariners all as ye pass by
come in and drink when you are dry
come in sit down think nought amiss
and pop your nose in a jug of this
