And it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog,
all for me beer and tobacco,
well, I spent all me tin with the lassies drinkin' gin,
far across the western ocean I must wander.
I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed,
since first I came ashore with me plunder.
I've seen centipedes and snakes, me head is full of aches,
and I have to take a path for way out yonder.
Where are me boots, me noggin' noggin' boots,
they're all sold for beer and tobacco.
See, the soles, they were thin and the uppers were lettin' in,
and the heels were looking out for better weather.
Where is me shirt, me noggin' noggin' shirt,
it's all sold for beer and tobacco.
The sleeves they were worn out and the collar being turned about,
and the tail is looking out for better weather.
Where is me wife, me noggin' noggin' wife,
she's all sold for beer and tobacco.
You see, her front was worn out and her tail was kicked about,
and I'm sure she's looking out for better weather.
And it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog,
all for me beer and tobacco,
well, I spent all me tin with the lassies drinkin' gin,
far across the western ocean I must wander.
Where is me bed, me noggin' noggin' bed,
it's all sold for beer and tobacco.
You see, I sold it to the girls and so the springs are all upturned,
and the sheets are looking out for better weather.
