When first I come [C] to Liverpool [D] I went [Am] upon [D] a spree
Made money at last, I [F] spent too fast Got drunk [C] as drunk [A] could be

[D] And as [Dm] I roamed the streets about The [C] whores they all [A] would row

I hired me a board [C] of a [Am] whaling ship [Dm] Bound for [C] the [Dm] Arctic seas
Where the cold winds blow Through [F] the frost and the snow
And [C] Jamaican rum [A] would freeze
[Dm] And worst and bare I'd no hard weather gear For I'd [F] lost all [Am] my [Gm] money [A] I sure

With a twenty foot oar, [F] cogged in our hands From four [C] o'clock in [A] the morn
[Dm] And when the shades of night come in We [F] rest on [C] our [A] weary oars
[Dm] T'was then I wished [C] that I was dead Or [Dm] safe [C] with the girls [Dm] ashore
