When first I landed in Liverpool, I went upon a spree
Me money alas I spent it fast, got drunk as drunk could be
And when that me money was all gone, 'twas then I wanted more
But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more
Once more, boys, once more, go to sea once more
But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more
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'd fled
And as I walked the streets about, the whores they all did roar
There goes Jack Spratt, the poor sailor lad, he must go to sea once more
Once more, boys, once more, go to sea once more
There goes Jack Spratt, the poor sailor lad, 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 caught 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, send you to sea once more
I'll give you a chance and I'll take your advance
And I'll send you to sea once more
Me money alas I spent it fast, got drunk as drunk could be
And when that me money was all gone, 'twas then I wanted more
But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more
Once more, boys, once more, go to sea once more
But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more
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'd fled
And as I walked the streets about, the whores they all did roar
There goes Jack Spratt, the poor sailor lad, he must go to sea once more
Once more, boys, once more, go to sea once more
There goes Jack Spratt, the poor sailor lad, 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 caught 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, send you to sea once more
I'll give you a chance and I'll take your advance
And I'll send you to sea once more
