Valparaiso Round the Horn |
| Was a cold and frosty morning in December |
| When all of me money it was spent |
| Oh where it went to the log I can’t remember |
| So I down to the shipping office went |
| Sing Paddy lay back (Paddy lay back) |
| Take up yer' slack (Iake up yer slack) |
| Take a turn around your capstan, haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| All ship stations boys be handy |
| For we’re bound for Valaparaiso round the horn! |
| That day there was a great demand for sailors |
| For colonies, for Frisco and for France |
| So I signed aboard the limey barque the Hotspur |
| And got paralytic drunk on me advance |
| Sing Paddy lay back (Paddy lay back) |
| Take up yer' slack (Iake up yer slack) |
| Take a turn around your capstan, haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| All ship stations boys be handy |
| For we’re bound for Valaparaiso round the horn! |
| Well now I woke up in the morning stippin' sore |
| And I knew that I was on me way again |
| Oh when I heard a voice kickin' in the door |
| «Harry get up to yer bugger and answer to yer name!» |
| Sing Paddy lay back (Paddy lay back) |
| Take up yer' slack (Iake up yer slack) |
| Take a turn around your capstan, haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| All ship stations boys be handy |
| For we’re bound for Valaparaiso round the horn! |
| I wish that I was at the Jolly SailorSing Paddy lay back (Paddy lay back) |
| Take up yer' slack (Iake up yer slack) |
| Take a turn around your capstan, haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| All ship stations boys be handy |
| For we’re bound for Valaparaiso round the horn! |
| I wish that I was at the Jolly Sailor |
| Along with Irish Molly drinking beer |
| Then I thought, «What jolly lads were sailors?» |
| Then with me flipper I wiped away a tear |
| Sing Paddy lay back (Paddy lay back) |
| Take up yer' slack (Iake up yer slack) |
| Take a turn around your capstan, haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| All ship stations boys be handy |
| For we’re bound for Valaparaiso round the horn! |
| Sing Paddy lay back (Paddy lay back) |
| Take up yer' slack (Iake up yer slack) |
| Take a turn around your capstan, haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| All ship stations boys be handy |
| For we’re bound for Valaparaiso round the horn! |
| Oh yes we’re bound for San Francisco around the horn! |
