HERE'S TO THE GROG I've got a coat and a nobby, nobby coat I've got a coat a-seen a lot of rough weather For the sides are near wore out and the back is flying about And the lining's looking out for better weather Here's to the grog, boys, the jolly, jolly grog Here's to the rum and tobacco I've a-spent all my tin with the lassies drinking gin And to cross the briny ocean I must wander I've got me breeches, me nobby, nobby breeches I've got breeches a-seen a lot of rough weather For the pouch is near wore out and the seat's all flying about And me knees are looking out for better weather CHORUS I've got me shirt, me nobby, nobby shirt I've got a shirt a-seen a lot of rough weather For the collar's near wore out and the sleeves are flying about And me tail's looking out for better weather CHORUS I've got me boots, me nobby, nobby shirt I've got boots a-seen a lot of rough weather For the bottom's near wore out and the heals flying about And me toes are looking out for better weather CHORUS I've got a tile, a nobby, nobby tile I've got a tile a-seen a lot of rough weather For the brim it is wore out and the crown is flying about And the lining's looking out for better weather CHORUS ----------------------------------------------------------------- And the lining's looking out for better weather English Traditional Recorded by A.L.
