Lyrics:


Chorus:
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 with the lassies drinking gin
Now 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
Chorus

Where is me shirt, my 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
Chorus

Where is me bed, me noggin' noggin bed
It's all gone for beer and tobacco
Well I lent it to a whore and now the sheets are all tore
And the springs are looking out for better whether.
Chorus

Where is me wench, me noggin' noggin' wench
She's all gone for beer and tobacco
Well her body's all worn out and her tits is knocked about
And her ass is looking out for better weather.
Chorus

I'm sick in me head and I haven't been to bed
Since first I came ashore with me plunder
I see centipedes and snakes and I'm full of pains and aches
And I think I'll make a push for over yonder.
Chorus

Alternate chorus:

Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
I spent all me loot in a house of ill repute
And I think I'll have to go back there tomorrow.
