Thougth this time, i'd stay in town
But now be damned, im outwards bound
Me money it went, for who*es and hounds
Off to sea once more
You'd think by now i smarter be, and learnt from past discrepencies
But here am i, headed back to sea
Penniless, sick and soare
One
Two
Three
Four
who*es and hounds n' navy rum
They have me broke, they have me numb
A drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore
The la**ies are my hearts delight, but i can't pay them every night
And i must look a sorry sight when begging for it free
And at the greyhounds guzzling grog, i never picked a winning dog
A sailors life's a hard ol' slug whenever he's on a spree
For who*es and hounds n' navy rum
They have me broke, they have me numb
A drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore
Intermision
Perhaps it's time to stop the strife, settle down and find a wife
But then again i love me life, what ever may insue
So i'll not fuss, and I'll not fret for i got life within me yet
I'll get drunk as i can get, thats what we sailors do
For who*es and hounds n' navy rum
They have me broke, they have me numb
A drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore
For who*es and hounds n' navy rum
They have me broke, they have me numb
A drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore
Yes i thought this time i'd stay in town but once again i'm seaward bound
But i'll be back for who*es and hounds, who keep talking out to me
When i return from sea
