Spend My Money On Whores On Shore

Those hoes on shore love sailor's money
        Roll, roll, roll and go.
Roll and go from Calais to Dover
        I spend my money with the hoes on shore.

The Rosebank whores love sailor's money
        Roll, roll, roll and go.
Roll and go from Calais to Dover
        I spend my money with the hoes on shore.

Hoes on shore love plenty money
        Roll, roll, roll and go.
Ya roll and go from California to Dover
        I spend my money with the hoes on shore.

Those hoes on shore love so much money
        Roll, roll, roll and go
Roll and go from Florida to Dover
        I spend my money with the hoes on shore.

Those hoes why they can't get married        <== muddled as two singers over-sing each other
        Roll, roll, roll and go.
They tat to bother and that's for later        <== Uncertain
        I spend my money with the hoes on shore.

Whores on shore love fisherman's money.
        Roll, roll, roll and go.
Oh roll and go from Calibad to Dover
        I spend my money with the hoes on shore.

1966(?). Rodger Abrahams field recording from St. Vincent. Found in
the Goldstein collection of reel-to-reel tapes.
Tape titled "Whaling Songs II". Song at timestamp: 19:51

A new singer leads the song for the final two verses. I can't
understand what is sung and the discussion afterwards.
