Am                G            F     G       Am
When first I landed in Liverpool, I went upon the spree
      Am             C/G                Am        G          Am
While money lasts, I spent it fast, Got drunk as drunk could be
    C/G           G                Am              G
And when me money was all gone, On liquors and the whores,
  Am                   G                  F     G      Am
I made up me mind that I was inclined, To go to sea no more

[Chorus 1]
   C       G
No more,no more
   Am    G      Am
To go to sea no more
  Am                   G
I made up me mind that I was inclined
   Am    G      Am
To go to sea no more

[Verse 2]
   Am            G                  F        G   Am
As I was walking down the street, I met with Angeline
    Am                   C/G                    Am     G        Am
She said: ”come home with me, my lad, And we’ll have a cracking time”
    C/G             G                Am         G   Am
But when I awoke it was no joke, I found I was all alone,
   Am                  G                 F           G        Am
My silver watch and my money to, And my whole bloody gear was gone

[Chorus 2]
    C         G
Was gone, was gone
   Am           G        Am
My whole bloody gear was gone
   Am                  G
It was when I awoke it was no joke
       Am           G        Am
For my whole bloody gear was gone

[Verse 3]
   Am            G                  F       G      Am
As I was walking down the street, I met Big Rapper Brown
    Am                   C/G            Am           G         Am
I asked him if he would take me in, And he looked at me with a frown,
          C/G                     G           Am           G    Am
He said: “last time you was paid off with me, You chalked up no score
         Am                           G                      F     G        Am
But I’ll take your advance, And I’ll give youse a chance, To go to sea once more

[Chorus 3]
     C         G
Once more,once more
   Am    G        Am
To go to sea once more
     Am                          G
I’ll take your advance  And I’ll give youse a chance
   Am    G        Am
To go to sea once more

[Verse 4]
   Am                  G             F             G      Am
He sent me aboard of a whaling ship, bound for the arctic seas
      Am                          C/G                    Am    G         Am
where cold winds blow, and there’s frost and snow, and jamaica rum would freeze,
    C/G                  G                     Am              G       Am
but worst of all; I’d no hardweather gear, for I’d lost all my dunnage ashore
         Am                    G               F     G      Am
it was then that I wished that I was dead, and go to sea no more

[Chorus 4]
    C      G
No more,no more
   Am    G      Am
To go to sea no more
       Am                      G
It was then that I wished that I was dead
    Am    G      Am
And go to sea no more

[Verse 5]
    Am                   G                   F      G      Am
Sometimes we’re catching whales me lads, but mostly we get none
       Am                 C/G              Am    G           Am
with a twenty foot oar in every paw, from five o’clock in th mor’n
         C/G                     G                    Am     G      Am
and when daylights gone, and the noghts coming on, we rest upon our oars
      Am                 G                F             G     Am
and o’boys you wish that you was dead, or snug with the girls ashore

[Chorus 5]
  C       G
Ashore, ashore
   Am            G      Am
Or snug with the girls ashore
   Am                G
O’boys you wish that you was dead
   Am            G      Am
Or snug with the girls ashore

[Verse 6]
     Am      G                     F      G     Am
Come all you sea-faring lads, that listen to me song
     Am           C/G                  Am         G      Am
when you go a-big boating, boys, make sure you do not go wrong
    C/G                       G                 Am      G   Am
You take my tip when you come off a trip, Don’t go with any whores
         Am                       G                     F     G      Am
But get married instead, and have all night in bed, And go to sea no more

[Chorus 6]
   C        G
No more, no more
   Am    G      Am
To go to sea no more
     Am                      G
Get married instead and have all night in bed
    Am    G      Am
And go to sea no more
