Get Up Jack

sł. trad.
mel. trad. "Get Up Jack"

Ships may come and ships may go, as long as the sea does roll,
Each sailor lad, likewise his dad, he loves that flowing bowl.
A lass ashore he does adore, one that is plump and round,
But when his money is gone, it's the same old song :"Get up, Jack!, John sit down!"

    Come along, come along my jolly brave tars,
    There's lots of grog in the jar,
    We'll plough the briny ocean with
    The jolly roving tars.
When Jack's ashore, he beats his way to some boarding- house,
He's welcomed in with rum and gin, likewise with port and souse,
He'll spend and spend and never offend, till he lies on the ground.
But when his money is gone, it's the same old song: "Get up, Jack!, John sit down!"
    Come along, come along ...
Now when Jack is old and weather- beat, too old to knock about,
In some grogshop they'll let him stop, till eight bells he's turned out.
Then he cries and he sighs right up to the skies:"Good Lord, I'm homeward bound"
For when your money is gone, it's the same old song:"Get up, Jack!, John sit down!
    Come along, come along ...
