Lyrics

Ye mariners all as ye pass by

Come in and drink when you are dry

Come spend my lads your money brisk

And pop your nose in a jug of this

Ye tipplers all as ye pass by

Come in and drink when you are dry

Come spend my lads your money brisk

And pop your nose in a jug of this

Ye tipplers all if ye've half a crown

You're welcome all for to sit down

Come in sit down think nought amiss

To pop your nose in a jug of this

Oh now I'm old and can scarcely crawl

I've a long grey beard and a head that's bald

Crown my desire, fulfil my bliss

A pretty girl and a jug of this

Oh when I'm in my grave and dead

And all my sorrows are past and fled

Transform me then into a fish

And let me swim in a jug of this

Ye mariners all as ye pass by

Come in and drink when you are dry

Come in sit down think nought amiss

And pop your nose in a jug of this
