Well it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin
Far across the Western Ocean I must wander
Where are me boots, me noggin', noggin' boots
They're all gone for beer and tobacco
For the heels they are worn out and the toes are kicked about
And the soles are looking out for better weather
Where is me shirt, me noggin', noggin' shirt
It's all gone for beer and tobacco
For the collar is all worn and the sleeves they are all torn
And me arse is lookin' out for better weather
I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed
Since first I came ashore with me plunder
For I spent all me dough on the lassies don't you know
Far across the Western Ocean I must wander
Where is me bed, me noggin', noggin' bed
It's all gone for beer and tobacco
For the sheets they are all torn and the mattress is all worn
And the springs are lookin' out for better weather
Where is me girl, me noggin', noggin' girl
She's all gone for beer and tobacco
For I loaned her to a Greek, he abused her for a week
Far across the Western Ocean I must wander
