Go to Sea No More Songtext
von Luke Kelly

Go to Sea No More Songtext

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 Angelene too drunk to roll in bed
Me watch was new and me money too
In the morning with them she 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 Browne
I asked him for to take me on
As he looked at me with a frown
He said last time you was paid off
With me you cut no store
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

He shipped me on board of a whaling ship bound for the artic sea
Where the cold wind blows through the
frost and snow and Jamaican rum would freeze.
But worse to bear I′d no hard weather gear
For I spent all me money on shore
'Twas then that I wished that I was dead and could go to sea no more

No more boys, no more, go to sea no more
′Twas then that I wished that I was dead and could go to sea no more

So come all you bold sea-faring men who listen to me song
When you come off those long trips I'll have you not go wrong
Take my advice drink no strong
drink don′t go sleeping with them whores
Get married instead and spend all night in bed and go to sea no more

No more, boys, no more go to sea no more
Get married instead and spend all night in bed and go to sea no more
