Jack Tarr the Sailor - The Byrds[00:00:00]
When first I came to liverpool[00:00:08]
I went upon the spree[00:00:12]
Me money at last I spent it[00:00:16]
Fast got drunk as drunk could be[00:00:19]
And when my money was all gone[00:00:23]
It was then that I wanted more[00:00:27]
But a man must be blind to make up his mind[00:00:32]
To go to sea once more[00:00:35]
I spent the night with angeline[00:00:47]
Too drunk to roll in bed[00:00:51]
Me watch it was new and my money was too[00:00:55]
And the morning with them she fled[00:00:58]
And as I roamed the streets of bath[00:01:03]
The whores they all would roar[00:01:07]
There goes jarr tarr the poor sailor[00:01:10]
He must go to sea once more[00:01:14]
As I walking down the street[00:01:26]
I ran into rapper brown[00:01:30]
I asked him for to take me in[00:01:34]
And he looked at me with a frown[00:01:38]
He said last time you was on board with me[00:01:42]
You job no score but I'll take your advance[00:01:47]
And I'll give you the chance[00:01:52]
And I'll send you to sea more once[00:01:53]
They shipped me aboard of a whaling ship[00:02:06]
Bound for the arctic sea[00:02:09]
Where the cold winds blow through the frost and the snow[00:02:13]
Jamaica rum would freeze[00:02:17]
Alas I had no luck with my gear[00:02:21]
For I left me money ashore[00:02:25]
It was then that I wished[00:02:29]
That I was there safe with the girls ashore[00:02:31]
Come all ye boat seafaring lads[00:02:45]
Who listen to my song[00:02:49]
And when you come off them long trip[00:02:53]
Pray that you don't go wrong[00:02:56]
Take my advice drink no strong drink[00:03:00]
Don't go sleeping with no whores[00:03:04]
But get married lads and have all night in[00:03:08]
And go to sea no more[00:03:12]
