All for Me Grog

back to songbook | text-only lyrics to this song

Gm Cm Gm Dm  --  x2
(vox only x2)

 And it's all for me grog,
 Me jolly, jolly grog,
 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.

break

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 the tail is looking out For better weather.

I'm sick in the head
And I haven't been to bed,
Since I first came ashore for me slumber,
For I spent all me dough
on the lassies don't you know
Far across the Western Ocean I must wander.


vocals only
 And it's all for me grog,
 Me jolly, jolly grog,
 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.
