Paddy Walsh, Devonport Sailor, recorded by Cyril Tawney in 1960, published by Folktrax.

I've problems with the second stanza, please, help. Thank you. Roberto


O when first I went to Frisco, boys, I went on a jolly good spree
We drank and gambled all night long, as drunk as drunk could be
We drank and gambled all night long, from night till early morn
When I made a mistake and I got quite a shake coming 'round Cape Horn

Once more, once more, once more, once more, once more
I made up me mind to feel inclined to go to sea once more

They shipped me aboard of a whaler pack bound for the Arctic Sea
Where cold winds blow both frost and snow and .... you'll see
No clothes ..., no money to get 'em, you know
And I often wished that I was back in my dear old home once more

No more, no more, I'll go to sea no more
I made up me mind to feel inclined to go to sea no more
