Subject: Lyr Add: ALL FOR ME GROG (Australian version)
ALL FOR ME GROG

Chorus
And its all for me grog me jolly jolly grog.
Its all gone for me beer and tobacco.
Well I've spent all me tin in the shanty's drinking gin
Now across the western ocean I must wander.

Well now where are me boots me jolly jolly boots.
They've all gone for me beer and tobacco.
The heels they are worn out and the toes are kicked about
and the soles are looking out for better weather

well now where is me shirt me jolly jolly shirt.
Its all gone for me beer and tobacco.
For the collar is all worn and sleeves they are all torn.
And the tail is looking out for better weather.

Well I'm sick in the head and I haven't gone to bed.
Since first I came ashore from me slumber.
For I spent all me dough on the women don't you know.
Now across the western oceans I must wander.
