Jakey's Gin
Great Big Sea
When CI was a young man I Fwas let asCtray
I Cmet with a Fbody down Gin Logy CBay
We Cwent out in a Fweather, we wore out our Cshoe,
And Cup Kingsway Froad for a Gdrink or Ctwo
Chorus: C F C
Drink 'er up boys its well after ten
Drink 'er Cup boys its Fwell after Cten
Some people say that the pinky is fine
Others will swear by a drop of moonshine
But as for myself I'm a bottle of each,
mixed in with a gallon of dipper or screech
CHORUS
It's the old shavin' lotion thats made me this way
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
And when in the evening when we're feeling fine
We'll stop into Jakey's for icon and shine
CHORUS
Its the old shavin' lotion thats made me this way
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
And when in the morning when I'm feeling rough
I curse, ol' Jakey who sold me this stuff
CHORUS x 2
(Some doubt as to the exact chord progression in lines 3 and 4 of each verse,
but it's something tpo start from)
