The mate was drunk and he went below to take a swig at his bottle-o
[Chorus]
So early in the morning the sailor likes his bottle-o
The bottle-o, the bottle-o, the sailor loves his bottle-o
A bottle of rum, a bottle of gin, a bottle of Irish whiskey-o
[Chorus]
The baccy-o, tobaccy-o, the sailor loves his baccy-o
[Chorus]
A packet of shag, a packet of cut, a plug of hard torbaccy-o
[Chorus]
The la**ies-o, the maidens-o, the sailor loves the judies o
[Chorus]
A la** from the 'pool, a girl from the Tyne, a chowlah so fine and dandy-o
[Chorus]
A bully rough house, a bully rough house, the sailor like his rough house-o
[Chorus]
Tread on me coat, and all hands in, a bully good rough and tumble-o
[Chorus]
A sing-song-o, a sing-song-o, the sailor likes a sing-song-o
[Chorus]
A drinking song, a song of love, a ditty of seas and shipmates-o
[Chorus]
