Upon the isle of Newfoundland there lived a sailor boy
G C
He was a handsome sailor lad, his father's pride and joy
C G
He&rsquo s born on board his father's ship on a dark and stormy morn
G C
And he helped the crew harpoon a whale on the day that he was born
C G
Jack, was every inch a sailor
G C
Five and twenty years a whaler
C G
Jack, was every inch a sailor
G C
He was born upon the bright blue sea
C G
When Jack grew up to be a man he sailed from shore to shore
G C
He sailed his ship around the world a dozen times or more
C G
Harpooning whales was play to him for he was very strong
G C
And he was also very tall and his beard was very long, Oh
C G
Jack, was every inch a sailor
G C
Five and twenty years a whaler
C G
Jack, was every inch a sailor
G C
He was born upon the bright blue sea
C G
One night while Jack was standing watch a storm began to blow
G C
It blew so hard that soon the ship was tossing to and fro
C G
A great big wave rolled up to Jack and washed him to the rail
G C
And he was tossed into the sea and swallowed by a whale, Oh
C G
Jack, was every inch a sailor
G C
Five and twenty years a whaler
C G
Jack, was every inch a sailor
G C
He was born upon the bright blue sea
C G
Now when that whale had swallowed Jack he soon began to shake
G C
For this old whale had got himself a mighty stomach ache
C G
Oh well said Jack this poor old whale don&rsquo t know what he&rsquo s about
G C
So he grabbed that whale all by the tail and pulled him inside out, Oh
C G
Jack, was every inch a sailor
G C
Five and twenty years a whaler
C G
Jack, was every inch a sailor
G C
He was born upon the bright blue sea
