All For Me Grog
(Trad)
Well I’m sick in me head and I haven’t been to bed
Since first I came ashore with me plunder
I’ve seen centipedes and snakes
And me head and body aches
And I think I’ll set a course for way out yonder
And it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog,
All for me beer and tobacco.
For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin,
Far across the western ocean I must wander.
Oh and where is me shirt, me noggin', noggin' shirt,
All gone for beer and tobacco,
For the sleeves are all worn out, and the collar all turned about,
And the tails is hanging out for better weather.
And it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog,
All for me beer and tobacco.
For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin,
Far across the western ocean I must wander.
Oh and where are me boots, me noggin', noggin' boots,
All gone for beer and tobacco.
For the soles, they is all thin, and the toes let water in
And the tongues is hanging out for better weather.
And it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog,
All for me beer and tobacco.
For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin,
Far across the western ocean I must wander.
Oh where is me bed, me noggin’ noggin’ bed
All gone for beer and tobacco,
For I lent it to a whore
Now the sheets they is all tore
And the springs is hanging out for better weather
And it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog,
All for me beer and tobacco.
For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin,
Far across the western ocean I must wander.
Oh and where is me wife, me noggin’ noggin’ bed
All gone for beer and tobacco,
For her front it is wore out
And her arse I kicked about
And I think she’s looking out for something better
And it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog,
All for me beer and tobacco.
For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin,
Far across the western ocean I must wander.
And it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog,
All for me beer and tobacco.
For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin,
Far across the western ocean I must wander.
