Lyrics
In 'Frisco town there lived a man
By the name of Larry Marr
And in the days of the Cape Horn Tirade
Oh we used a big stone jar
In the ol' Virginia lowlands, lowlands lo
In the ol' Virginia lowlands lo
In Larry's place down on the coast
By the dock, s'not very far
In the back they made a special drink
In that old five gallon jar
In the ol' Virginia lowlands, lowlands lo
In the ol' Virginia lowlands lo
Now a hail ship, she was short of hands
And a full red bloodied tars
Missus and Larry would prime the beer
In that old five gallon jar
In the ol' Virginia lowlands, lowlands lo
In the ol' Virginia lowlands lo
The pair they played the Shanghai game
For the crimps were never far
And they never missed a lucky chance
To use the big five gallon jar
In the ol' Virginia lowlands, lowlands lo
In the ol' Virginia lowlands lo
Shellbacks and farmers just the same
Strolled into Larry's bar
And sailed away around the Horn
By Larry's five gallon jar
In the ol' Virginia lowlands, lowlands lo
In the ol' Virginia lowlands lo
From the Barbary Coast steer clear me boys
And from old Larry Marr
Or else damn soon shanghaied you'll be
By Larry's five gallon jar
In the ol' Virginia lowlands, lowlands lo
In the ol' Virginia lowlands lo
Shanghaied away on a skysail ship
Around Cape Horn so far
Goodbye to all the pretty girls
And Larry's five gallon jar
In the ol' Virginia lowlands, lowlands lo
In the ol' Virginia lowlands lo
In the ol' Virginia lowlands, lowlands lo
In the ol' Virginia lowlands lo
