| 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! |
