Ships may come and ships may go
As long as the sea does roll.
Each sailor lad just like his dad,
He loves the flowing bowl.
A trip a shore he does adore
With a girl that's plump and round.
When yout money's gone
It's the same old song,
"Get up Jack John, sit down!"
[Chorus:]
Come along, come along, me jolly brave boys,
There's lots of grog in the jar.
We'll prowl the briny ocean
With a jolly roving tar.
When Jack comes in, it's then he'll steer
To some old boarding house.
They'll welcome him with rum and gin,
And feed him on port stout
He'll spend and he'll not offend
Untill he's drunk on the ground
And when you money's gone
It's the same old song,
"Get up Jack John, sit down!"
[Chorus]
Jack, he then, oh then he'll sail
Bound down for Newfoundland
All the ladies fair in Placentia there
They love that sailor man.
He'll go to shore out on a tear
And he'll buy some girl a gown.
When the money's gone
It's the same old song,
"Get up Jack John, sit down!"
[Chorus]
When Jack gets old and weatherbeat,
Too old to roam about,
They'll let him stop in some rum shop
Till eight bells calls him out.
Then he'll raise his eyes up to the skies,
Sayin' "Boys, we're homeward bound."
When the money's gone
It's the same old song,
"Get up Jack John, sit down!"
[Chorus]
