And it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog
All for me beer and tobacco
Well I spent all me tin, with me laddies drinkin' gin
Far across the western ocean I must wander
Now where is me shirt, me noggin' noggin' shirt
It's all sold for beer and tobacco
You see the sleeves were all worn out and the collar torn about
And the tail was 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 me laddies drinkin' gin
Far across the western ocean I must wander
Now where is me wife, me noggin' noggin' wife
(You sold her for beer and tobacco!)
You see her front it was worn out and her tail I kicked about
And I'm sure she's lookin' 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 me laddies 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 and me head is full of aches
And I have to take a path for way out yonder
And it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog
All for me beer and tobacco
Well I spent all me tin, with me laddies drinkin' gin
Far across the western ocean I must wander
