lyrics

The mariner’s song

Ye mariners all as ye pass by
Come in and drink when you are dry
Come spend me lads your money brisk
And pop your nose in a jug of this

Ye tipplers all if ye’ve half a crown
You’re welcome all for to sit down
Come in sit down think not amiss
To pop your nose in a jug of this

And now I’m old and can scarcely crawl
I’ve a long grey beard and a head that’s bald
Crown my desire fulfill my bliss
Someone to love and a jug of this

Oh when I’m in my grave and dead
And all my sorrows are past and fled
Transform me then into a fish
And let me swim in a jug of this

Ye tipplers all as ye pass by
Come in and drink when you are dry
Come in sit down think not amiss
To pop your nose in a jug of this
