Go to Sea Once More

When first I landed in Liverpool,
I went upon a spree.
Me hard-earned cash,
Well, I spent it fast!
Got drunk as drunk could be.
An' when me money, it was all gone,
'twas then, I wanted more!
But, a man must be blind, to make up his mind,
And go to sea once more!
Once more, boys, once more,
Go to sea once more.
Well, a man must be blind, to make up his mind,
And go to sea once more!
That night I slept with Angeline,
Too drunk to roll in bed.
Me clothes was new, and me money was too!
An' the mornin' with them, she fled!
An' as I roamed the streets about,
The tarts they all did roar.
There goes Jack Sprat, the poor sailor lad,
He must go to sea once more!
Once more, boys, once more!
Go to sea once more!
There goes Jack Sprat, the poor sailor lad,
He must go to sea once more!
As I roaming the streets about, I met ol' Raptor Brown,
I asked him then, to take me in,
He looked at me with a frown.
He said, "Your time, it was payed off,
With me you'll chuck no score!
But I'll take yer advance, an' I'll give you a chance,
You'll go to sea once more.
Once more, boys, once more!
Go to sea once more!
But I'll take yer advance, an' I'll give you a chance,
And go to sea once more.
Come along, you bold young sailor lads,
And listen to me song.
When you come off them damn long trips,
I'll tell ye what goes wrong!
Take my advise, don't drink strong drinks,
Never sleep around with whores!
Get married instead, and spend all night in bed,
And go to sea no more!
No more, boys, no more!
Go to sea no more!
Get married instead, and spend all night in bed,
And go to sea no more!
