The Jolly Roving Tar |
Well here we are, we’re back again |
Safe upon the shore |
In Belfast town we’d like to stay |
And go to sea no more |
We’ll go into a public house |
And drink till we’re content |
For the lassies they will love us |
Till our money is all spent |
So pass the flowin' bowl |
Boys there’s whiskey in the jar |
And we’ll drink to all the lassies |
And the jolly roving tar |
Oh Johnny did you miss me |
When the nights were long and cold |
Or did you find another love |
In your arms to hold |
Says he I thought of only you |
While on the sea afar |
So come up the stairs and cuddle |
With your jolly roving tar |
So pass the flowin' bowl |
Boys there’s whiskey in the jar |
And we’ll drink to all the lassies |
And the jolly roving tar |
Well in each other’s arms they rolled |
Till the break of day |
When the sailor rose and said farewell |
I must be on me way |
Ah don’t you leave me Johnny lad |
I thought you’d marry my |
Says he I can’t be married |
For I’m married to the sea |
So pass the flowin' bowl |
Boys there’s whiskey in the jar |
And we’ll drink to all the lassies |
And the jolly roving tar |
Well come all you bonnie lasses |
And a warning take by me |
And never trust and Irishman |
An inch above your knee |
He’ll tease you and he’ll squeeze you |
And when he’s had his fun |
He’ll leave you in the morning |
With a daughter or a son |
So pass the flowin' bowl |
Boys there’s whiskey in the jar |
And we’ll drink to all the lassies |
And the jolly roving tar |
So pass the flowin' bowl |
Boys there’s whiskey in the jar |
And we’ll drink to all the lassies |
And the jolly roving tar |
