off to sea once more - a. l. lloyd lyrics

when first i landed in liverpool i went upon the spree
while money lasts i spend it fast, got drunk as drunk could be
but before my money was all gone on liquor and the wh0res
i made up my mind that i was inclined to go to sea no more

[refrain]
no more, no more! to go to sea no more
i made up my mind that i was inclined to go to sea no more

as i was walking down the street i met with angeline
she said: “come home with me, my lad, and we’ll have a cracking time.”
but when i awoke, it was no joke, i found i was all alone
my silvеr watch and my money too, and my whole bl**dy gear was gonе

[refrain]
was gone, was gone! my whole bl**dy gear was gone
when i awoke, it was no joke for my whole bl**dy gear was gone

as i was walking down the street i met big rapper brown
i asked him if he would take me in, and he looked at me with a frown
he said, “last time you was paid off, with me you chalked up no score
but i’ll take your advance and i’ll give youse a chance to go to sea once more.”

[refrain]
once more, once more! to go to sea once more
i’ll take your advance and i’ll give youse a chance to go to sea once more.”
he shipped me on board of a whaling ship bound for the arctic seas
where cold winds blow and there’s frost and snow and jamaica rum would freeze
and worse to bear, i’d no hard*weather gear, for i’d lost all my dunnage ashore
it was then that i wished that i was dead so i’d go to sea no more

[refrain]
no more, no more! i’d go to sea no more
it was then that i wished that i was dead so i’d go to sea no more

sometimes we’re catching whales, my lads, but mostly we get none
with a twenty*foot oar in every paw from five o’clock in the morn
and when daylight’s gone and the night coming on, you rest upon your oar
and oh boys, you wish that you was dead or snug with the girls ashore

[refrain]
ashore, ashore! snug with the girls ashore
oh boys, you wish that you was dead or snug with the girls ashore

come all you bold seafaring lads that listen to my song
when you go a*big*boating, i’ll have you not go wrong
you take my tip, when you come off a trip, don’t go with any wh0re
but get married instead and have all night in and go to sea no more

[refrain]
no more, no more! don’t go to sea no more
get married, my lads, and have all night in and go to sea no more
