[Verse 1]
As I was walkin' down London Road
I came to Paddy West's house
He gave me a dish of American hash
And he called it Liverpool scouse
He said, "There's a ship, she's taking hands
And on her you must sign
The mate's a bastard, the captain's worse
And she will do you fine."
[Chorus]
Take off your dungaree jackets
And give yourselves a rest
And think of them cold nor'westers
We had in Paddy West's
[Verse 2]
Now Paddy he pipes, "All hands on deck
There's stations for to man."
His wife, she's stood in the doorway
With a bucket in her hand
And Paddy, he cries, "Now, let 'er rip!”
She throws the water our way
Crying, "Clew up your fore t'gan'sl boys
She's taking on the spray!"
