Intro RE SOL RE LA
RE SOL
Ships may come and ships may go
LA RE
As long as the sea does roll
RE SOL
Each sailor lad just like his dad
LA RE
He loves the flowing bowl
RE SOL
A trip ashore he does adore
RE LA
With a girl who's nice and round
RE
When the money's gone
SOL
It's the same old song
LA RE
Get up Jack John sit down
Chorus
RE SOL
Come along, come along, You jolly brave boys,
RE LA
There's lots of grog in the jar
RE SOL
We'll plough the briny ocean
LA RE SOL RE LA
With the jolly roving tar
Jack comes in, it's then he'll steer
To some old boarding house
They'll welcome him with run and gin,
And feed him on pork scouse
He'll lend and spend and not offend
Till he's lying drunk on the ground
But when
Chorus
Jackie then ahh then he'll sail
Bound out for Newfoundland
All the ladies fair in Placentia there
They love that sailor man.
He'll go to shore out on a tear
He'll buy some girl a gown.
But when
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.''
But when
Chorus (x2)
