Jolly Roving Tar

作曲：Traditional Composer

作词：Traditional Lyricist

Now ships may come and ships may go

As long as the sea does roll

He'd sailor lad like was his dad

He loves that flowing ball

A last assure he does adore one

That is plumping round

When your money is gone

It's the same old song

Get up jack john sit down

Come along come along my jolly brave tar

There's a lots of grog in the jar

We'll plow the briny ocean

With them jolly roving tars

Now when jack's ashore

He beats his way to some boarding house

He's welcomed in with rum and gin

Likewise with pork and sours

He'll spend and he'll spend and he'll never fend

Till he lies drunk on the ground

But when his money is gone

It's the same old song

Get up jack john sit down

Come along come along my jolly brave tar

There's a lots of grog in the jar

We'll plow the briny ocean

With them jolly roving tars

Come along come along my jolly brave tar

There's a lots of grog in the jar

Plow the briny ocean

With them jolly roving tars

Now when jack is old

And weather beat too old for to knock about

In some grog shop they'll let him stop

Till eight bells he's turned out

Then he'll sigh he'll sigh right up to the sky

Oh lord I'm homeward bound

Cause when your money is gone

It's the same old song

Get up jack john sit down

Come along come along my jolly brave tar

There's a lots of grog in the jar

We'll plow the briny ocean

With them jolly roving tars

Come along come along my jolly brave tar

There's a lots of grog in the jar

We'll plow the briny ocean

With them jolly roving tars
