Whip Jamboree whip Jamboree
O your pig tailed sailor boys hanging down behind
Whip Jamboree whip Jamboree
Sing til the work is done
Now me lads be of good cheer
For the lrish coast will soon draw near
Then we’ll set a course for old Cape Clear
Sing til the work is done
And now Cape Clear it is in sight
We’ll be off Holyhead by tomorrow night
And we’ll steer a course for the old Rock Light
Sing til the work is done
And now me lads we’re off Holyhead
No more salt beef or weevily bread
One man in the chains for to heave the lead
Sing til the work is done
And next we’re rounding fort Perch Rock
All hammocks lashed and all chests locked
We’ll haul her into Waterloo Dock
Sing til the work is done
And now me lads we’re all in dock
We’ll be off to Dan Lowry’s on the spot
And there we’ll shop a big pint pot
Sing til the work is done
