Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog,
It's all for me beer and tobacco.
For I spent all me tin down on South Street drinking gin,
Now across the western ocean I must wander.
2. Where is me hat, me noggy', noggin' hat?
It's all gone for beer and tobacco,
For the brim is wore out, and the crown is kicked about,
And my head is looking out for better weather.
3. Where are me boots, me noggy', noggin' boots?
They're all gone for beer and tobacco.
For the heels they are worn out and the toes are kicked about
And the soles are looking out for better weather.
4. Where is me shirt, me noggy', noggin' shirt?
It's all gone for beer and tobacco,
For the collar is all worn, and the sleeves they are all torn,
And the tail is looking out for better weather.
5. Where is me pants, me noggy', noggin' pants?
They're all gone for beer and tobacco,
For the seat is all out, and the cuffs they are knocked about,
And my ass is looking out for better weather.
6. Where is me hat, me noggy', noggin' hat?
It's all gone for beer and tobacco,
For the brim is wore out, and the crown is kicked about,
And my head is looking out for better weather.
7. I see centipedes and snakes and I'm filled with pains and aches,
And the sky is looking darker than the thunder
And the tavern keeper too, for I haven't got a sou
And I guess I'm pushing off for better weather.
8. I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed,
Since first I came ashore with all me plunder,
For I spent all me dough down on South Street drinkin' gin,
So across the western ocean I must wander.
