Jack Tarr The Sailor Lyrics - Ballad Of Easy Rider - The Byrds

When first I came to Liverpool I went upon the spree 

Me money at last I spent it fast got drunk as drunk could be 

And when my money was all gone it was then that I wanted more 

But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more

I spent the night with Angeline to drunk to roll in bed 

Me watch it was new and my money was too 

And the morning with them she fled 

And as I roamed the streets of Bath the whores they all would roar 

There goes Jack Tarr the poor sailor 

He must go to sea once more 

As I walking down the street I ran into Rapper Brown 

I asked him for to take me in and he looked at me with a frown 

He said last time you was on board with me you job no score 

But I'll take your advance and I'll give you the chance 

And I'll send you to sea once more 

They shipped me aboard of a whaling ship bound for the Arctic Sea 

Where the cold winds blow through the frost and the snow 

Jamaica rum would freeze 

Alas I had no luck with my gear for I left my money ashore 

It was then that I wished that I was there safe with the girl's ashore

Come all ye boat seafaring lads who listen to my song 

And when you come off them long trip pray that you don't go wrong 

Take my advice drink no strong drink don't go sleeping with no whores 

But get married lads and have all night in and go to to sea no more
