Intro: Em-G-Em-Em-Em-Em
When fCirst I laEmnded in LiveGrpool, I Emwent upGon a sEmpree
Me Gmoney alEmas I spCent it Emfast, got drGunk as drunk cCould be
AnEmd when thGat me mEmoney was alCl gone, 'twasEm then I wGanted mCore
But a Emman must be blCind to mGake up his mEmind to gGo to sea onEmce more
Chorus
Once mCore, boys, once mGore, goEm to seaEm once mGore
But a Emman must be blCind to mGake up his mindEm to goG to sea once Emmore
I spent the night with Angeline, too drunk to roll in bed
Me watch was new and me money too, in the morning with them she fled
And as I walked the streets about, the whores they all did roar
There goes Jack Strapp, the poor sailor lad, he must go to sea once more
Once more, boys, once more, go to sea once more
There goes Jack Strapp, the poor sailorlad, he must go to sea once more
And as I walked the streets about, I met with the Rapper Brown
I asked him for to take me on and he looked at me with a frown
He said last time you was paid off with me you could no score
But I'll give you a chance and I'll take your advance and I'll send you to sea once more
Once more, boys, once more, go to sea once more
But I'll give you a chance and I'll take your advance and I'll send you to sea once more
He shipped me on board of a whaling ship bound for the arctic seas
Where the cold winds blow through the frost and snow and Jamaican rum would freeze
But worse to bear, I'd no hard weather gear for I'd spent all money on shore
'twas then that I wished that I was dead and could go to sea no more
No more, boys, no more, go to sea no more
'twas then that I wished that I was dead and could go to sea no more
So come all you bold, sea-faring men who listen to me song
When you come off them long trips I'll have you not go wrong
Take my advice, drink no strong drink, don't go sleeping with them whores
Get married instead and spend all night in bed and go to sea no more
No more, boys, no more, go to sea no more
Get married instead and spend all night in bed and go to sea no more
