Here's a corrected transcription of the Warner version, from Traditional American Folk Songs from the Anne & Frank Warner Collection, #71.

GET UP JACK! JOHN, SIT DOWN
(The Jolly Roving Tar)

Ships may come and ships may go
As long as the sea does roll.
Each sailor lad just like his dad,
He loves the flowing bowl.
A trip ashore he does adore
With a girl that's plump and round.
When your money's gone
It's the same old song,
"Get up Jack! John, sit down!"

CHORUS
Come along, come along, You jolly brave boys,
There's lots of grog in the jar.
We'll plough the briny ocean
With the jolly roving tar.

When Jack gets in, it's then he steers
For some old boarding house.
He's welcomed in with run and gin,
They feed him on pork souse.
He'll lend and spend and not offend
Till he lies drunk on the ground
When your money's gone
It's the same old song,
"Get up Jack! John, sit down!"
CHORUS

He then will sail aboard some ship
For India or Japan,
In Asia there, the ladies fair
All love the sailor men.
He'll go ashore and on a tear
And buy some girl a gown.
When your money's gone
It's the same old song,
"Get up Jack! John, sit down!"
CHORUS

When Jack gets old and weather-beat,
Too old to roam about,
In some rum shop, they'll let him stop
Till eight bells calls him out.
He'll raise his eyes up to the skies,
Saying, "Boys, we're homeward bound."
When your money's gone
It's the same old song,
"Get up Jack! John, sit down!"
CHORUS

On The first CD from the Warner Collection, Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still, Lena Bourne Fish sings only the first two verses. Here's the difference in the way she sings it on the CD:

When his money's gone
It's the same old song,
"Get up Jack! John, sit down!"

CHORUS
Come along, come along, You jolly brave boys,
There's lots of grog in the jar.
We'll plough the briny ocean
With my jolly roving tar.

Fish was recorded by Warner in 1940. The CD notes refer to an earlier version, written in New York City by Edward Harrigan and Dave Barham, in 1885.
