A bottle of rum, a bottle o gin, a bottle of irish whiskey
o

A packet o shag, a packet o cut a plug of hard
terbaccy o

The lassies o, the maidens o, the sailor loves the judies

A lass from the 'pool, a girl from the Tyne, a chowlah
so fine and dandy o

A bully rough house, a bully rough house, the sailor
likes his rough house o

Tread on me coat and all hands in, a bully good rough-

A sing song o, a sing song o, the sailor likes a sing

A drinking song, a song o love, a ditty of seas and
shipmates o
