Row Bullies Row

From Liverpool to ‘Frisco a-roving I went
For to stay in that country it was my intent
But girls and strong whiskey, like other damned fools
I soon was transported back to Liverpool

Chorus:
And it’s row, row bullies row
Them Liverpool Judies have got us in tow

I shipped on “The Alaska” laid out in the bay
A-waiting for a fair wind to get under way
The sailor’s all drunk and their backs’ is all sore
The whiskey’s all done and we can’t get no more

Now here comes our first mate in his jacket of blue
A-looking for work for us sailors to do
it’s “jib-topsail halyards” he loudly does roar
and “stay aloft Paddy, ye son of a wh***”

Here’s a health to captain where e’er he may be
He’ a friend to the sailor on land or on sea
But as for that first mate, that son of a brute
I hope when he dies, straight to Hell he’ll sky-hoot.
