Well, Jack was a sailor that roamed on the town
And he met with this damsel that skipped up and down
Said the damsel to Jack as she passed him by
"Would you care for to purchase some Quare bungle rye, raddy rye?"
Fol the diddle raddy rye, raddy rye
Said Jack to himself, "Now, what can this be
But the finest old whiskey from far Germany?
Smuggled up in a basket and sold on the sly
And the name that it goes by is Quare bungle rye, raddy rye"
Fol the diddle raddy rye, raddy rye
Well, he gave her a pound, and he thought nothing strange
She said "Hold now, me basket, while I run for your change"
He took a look in the basket, a child he did spy
"I'll be damned", says Jack, "This is Quare bungle rye, raddy rye"
Fol the diddle raddy rye, raddy rye
Well, to get the child christened was Jack's next intent
To get the child christened, to the parson he went
Said the parson to Jack, "What will he go by?"
"I'll be damned", says Jack, "Call him Quare bungle rye, raddy rye"
Fol the diddle raddy rye, raddy rye
Said the parson to Jack, "That's a very Quare name"
"I'll be damned", says Jack, "'twas a Quare way he came
Smuggled up in a basket and sold on the sly
And the name that he'll go by is Quare bungle rye, raddy rye"
Fol the diddle raddy rye, raddy rye
Well, come all ye sailors that roam on the town
Beware of them damsels that skips up and down
Beware of them ladies as you pass them by
Or else they might flog you some Quare bungle rye, raddy rye
Fol the diddle raddy raddy, fol the diddle raddy raddy
Fol the diddle raddy raddy rye, raddy rye
