Great Big Sea - Jolly Roving Tar Lyrics

Send "Jolly Roving Tar" ringtone to your cell

Ships may come and ships may go

As long as the sea does roll.

Each sailor lad just like his dad

He loves the flowing bowl.

A trip on shore he does adore

With a girl who's nice and round.

When the money's gone

It's the same old song

"Get up Jack! John sit down!"

CHORUS:

Come along come along You

Jolly brave boys

There's lots of grog in the jar.

We'll plough the briny ocean

With the jolly roving tar.

When Jack comes in it's then he'll steer

To some old boarding house.

They'll welcome him with rum and gin

And feed him on pork scouse.

He'll lend spend and he'll not offend

Till he's lyin' drunk on the ground

When the money's gone

It's the same old song

"Get up Jack! John sit down!"

CHORUS

Jack he then oh then he'll sail

Bound down for Newfoundland

All the ladies fair in Placentia there

They love that sailor man.

He'll go to shore out on a tear

And he'll buy some girl a gown.

When the money's gone

It's the same old song

"Get up Jack! John sit down!"

CHORUS

When Jack gets old and weatherbeat

Too old to roam about

They'll let him stop in some rum shop

Till eight bells calls him out.

Then he'll raise his eyes

Up to the skies

Sayin' "Boys we're homeward bound."

When the money's gone

It's the same old song

"Get up Jack! John sit down!"

CHORUS
