Banks of Newfoundland The Longest Johns

[Verse 1]
Me bully boys of Liverpool I'll have you to beware
When you sail in them packet ships no dungaree jumpers wear;
But have a good monkey jacket all ready to your hand
For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland

{Chorus}
We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her, with holystone and sand
For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland

[Verse 2]
Well we had Jack Lynch from Ballynahinch, Mike Murphy and some more
And I tell you well, they suffered like hell on the way to Baltimore; (To Baltimore!)
They pawned their gear in Liverpool, and sailed as they did stand
But there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland

{Chorus}
We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her, with holystone and sand
For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland

[Verse3]
Well the mate he stood on the fo'c'sle head and loudly he did roar
Come rattle her in, me lucky lads, you're bound for America's shore; (America's shore!)
Come wipe the blood off that dead man's face, and haul or you'll be damned
For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland
