Now me lads be of good Cheer
For Irish land will soon Draw near
In a few days more, well sight cape clear.
Oooh Jenny keep your ring tail warm!
chorus: Whip jamboree, whip jamboree,
Oooh you long-tall sailor, Sheet it up behind me,
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree,
Oh Jenny get your oat cake done!
Now my boys we're off Holyhead;
An there's no more casts of dipsy lead.
I'll soon sleeping in your lovely feather bed,
Oooh Jenny keep your ring tail warm!
Now the Barship is in sight,
An' soon we'll be off the old Rock Light,
An' I will clean your flue tonight.
Oooh! Jenny keep your ring tail warm!
Now we're hauling through the dock,
Were all the pretty young girls to the pierhead do flock,
An' there's my Jenny in a new pink frock,
Oooh! Jenny keep your ring tail warm!
Now we're tied up to the pier,
So it's down below to pack me musty gear,
I'll soon be kissing you my dear,
Oooh! Jenny keep your ring tail warm!
Now I'm safe upon the shore,
An' I don't give a dam how the waves do roar,
I'll drop me anchor and I'll go to sea no more,
Oooh! Jenny keep your ring tail warm!
But now I've been two weeks ashore,
I'll pack me bags an' I'll go to sea once more,
An' I'll bid goodbye to me Liverpool whore!
Oooh! Jenny keep your ring tail warm!
