PARIS HERE I COME (as sung by the Harry Browns Of Bristol on "Shipshape And Harry Fashion.")

Paris here I come, drinking all the way-o
Paris here I come, drinking all the way-o
See a man from home with something to say-o

Chorus:
Way-hey,and we'll merry be
Way-hey, and we'll merry be

John go home, go home, someone's got your girl-o
John go home, go home, someone's got your girl-o
I say let him come, want no more of her-o

Chorus

All her love I had, none can take her place-o
All her love I had, none can take her place-o
In a fine big bed, overhung with lace-o

Chorus

I had three sons, captains one and all-o
I had three sons, captains one and all-o
There's one at Bordeaux, two at La Rochelle-o

Chorus

And the youngest there, through the world astray-o
And the youngest there, through the world astray-o
Like his father here, drinking all the way-o

Chorus
