Ah, when CJack comes ashore He's got Fmoney galGore And he's Cseldom cut short of a jGob He can dCress now as well As Fany can Gtell With a Cgood silver Gwatch in his Cfob
[Chorus 1]
Poor JCack in his life Was ne'er Fpaired with a Gwife Though sCometimes with lasses he Glinks He's a Cseafaring sailmate Can Fgambol a Gcaper CGrog drinking Ghero, Jack CHinks
[Verse 2] When inclined for to spend He walks with a friend And with pleasure he sits himself down He tips off his glass And he winks at the lass And he smiles if she happens to frown [Chorus 2] And like a ramblin' true blue When the rent becomes due On the table the money he clinks He's a seafaring sailmate Can gambol a caper Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks [Verse 3] Round home the other fall We fell into a squall Now the northermost head of Cape Freels We were washed away Without further delay At the thought how my spirit it chills [Chorus 3] We were bashed on the rocks Like a hard hunted fox Of death and destruction he thinks He's a seafaring sailmate Can gambol a caper Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks Oh, Jack Hinks [Verse 4] Jack without fail Was out in that same gale Having drove across Bonavist Bay Oh Neptune did sail As he handed all sail And he had his two spars cut away [Chorus 4] Oh, but Providence kind so eases the wind And on sailors so constantly thinks He saved That seafaring sailmate Can gambol a caper That seafaring sailmate Can gambol a caper That seafaring sailmate Can gambol a caper Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks.
