Lyrics

T'was a cold and dreary morning in December And all of me money it was spent And where it went I swear I cant remember So down to the shipping office I went Paddy Layback Take in your sack Take a turn around the capstan, heave aboard! About ships stations boys be handy We're bound about the rise around the horn Well it seems there was a great demand for sailors For the colonies, for frisco and for France Well I shipped aboard the limey barked the Hotspur And got legless drunk on my advance Paddy Layback Take in your sack Take a turn around the capstan, heave aboard! About ships stations boys be handy We're bound about the rise around the horn Well I joined her on a cold December morning A flopping of me flippers to keep me warm With the south cone hoisted as a warning To stand by the coming of a storm Paddy Layback Take in your sack Take a turn around the capstan, heave aboard! About ships stations boys be handy We're bound about the rise around the horn Well I woke up in the morning sippin' soarboards And I knew that I was outward bound again And a voice came a balling at the doorboards The aft man and answer to your name Paddy Layback Take in your sack Take a turn around the capstan, heave aboard! About ships stations boys be handy We're bound about the rise around the horn Twas on the quartz for deck when first I see him Such an ugly bunch I never seen before There was a bomb and sniff on every corner And it made my poor old heart feel sick and sore Paddy Layback Take in your sack Take a turn around the capstan, heave aboard! About ships stations boys be handy We're bound about the rise around the horn
