Go to Sea No More (1993 Remaster)

Go to Sea No More (1993 Remaster) - The Dubliners

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 Angeline 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 Strapp the poor sailor lad

He must go to sea once more

Once more boys once more go to sea once more

There goes Jack Strapp the poor sailorlad

He must go to sea once more

And as I walked the streets about

I met with the Rapper Brown

I asked him for to take me on and

He looked at me with a frown

He said last time you was paid off

With me you could no score

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 go to sea once more

But 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 arctic seas

Where the cold winds blow through the frost

And snow and Jamaican rum would freeze

But worse to bear I'd no hard weather gear

For I'd spent all money on shoretwas then

That I wished that I was dead

And could go to sea no more

No more boys no more go to sea no moretwas

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 them 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
