lyrics

i shall no more to sea, to sea,
here shall i die ashore
i shall no more to sea, to sea,
here shall i die ashore
the master, the swabber, the boatswain, and i,
the gunner and his mate
loved mall, meg, and marian, and margery,
but none of us cared for kate;
for she had a tongue with a tang,
would cry to a sailor, 'go hang!'
she loved not the savour of tar nor of pitch,
yet a tailor might scratch her where'er she did itch:
then to sea, boys, and let her go hang!

i shall no more to sea, to sea,
here shall i die ashore
i shall no more to sea, to sea,
here shall i die ashore
the master, the swabber, the boatswain, and i,
the gunner and his mate
loved mall, meg, and marian, and margery,
but none of us cared for kate;
for she had a tongue with a tang,
would cry to a sailor, 'go hang!'
she loved not the savour of tar nor of pitch,
yet a tailor might scratch her where'er she did itch:
then to sea, boys, and let her go hang!
