Whip Jamboree

(Amin)Now Cape (C)Clear it (Amin)is in (G)sight
We'll be (Amin)off Holy(G)head by to(Amin)morrow (G)night,
And we'll (Amin)shape our (C)course for the(Amin) old Rock (G)Light,
Oh (Amin)Jenny get your (G)oat cake (Amin)done.

Whip jamboree, whip jamboree,
Oh, you long-tailed black man, poke it up behind me,
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree,
Oh, Jenny, get your oat cake done.

Now, my boys, we're off Holyhead;
No more salt beef, no more salt bread.
One man in the chains for to heave the lead,
Oh, Jenny, get your oat cake done.

Whip jamboree, whip jamboree,
Oh, you long-tailed black man, poke it up behind me,
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree,
Oh, Jenny, get your oat cake done.

Now, my lads, we're round the Rock,
All hammocks lashed and chests all locked.
We'll haul her into the Waterloo Dock,
Oh, Jenny, get your oat cake done.

Whip jamboree, whip jamboree,
Oh, you long-tailed black man, poke it up behind me,
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree,
Oh, Jenny, get your oat cake done.

Now, my lads, we're all in dock
We'll be off to Dan Lowrie's on the spot;
And now we'll have a good roundabout,
Oh, Jenny, get your oat cake done.

Whip jamboree, whip jamboree,
Oh, you long-tailed black man, poke it up behind me,
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree,
Oh, Jenny, get your oat cake done
