What a great song. Never heard it before. Wow! I got that at the following site

http://www.andyirvine.com/disc/sweeney-disc-new.html

There is an mp3 version of it there.

[A]I Shipped on board off a [E]Liverpool [A]liner
Way [E]hey [A]roll [E7]and [A]go
And we rolled all [D]night
And we [E]rolled all[A] day
For to[A] spend our money along with [E]sally [A]brown

Sally Brown is a nice young lady
Way hay roll and go
And we rolled all night
And we rolled all day
For to spend my money along with sally brown

She's tall and she's dark and she's not too shady
Way hay roll and go
And we rolled all night
And we rolled all day
For to spend my money along with sally brown

Her mother doesn't like no tarry sailor
Way hay roll and go
And we rolled all night
And we rolled all day
For to spend my money along with sally brown

She once had to marry a one legged captain
Way hay roll and go
And we rolled all night
And we rolled all day
For to spend our money along with sally brown

Sally wouldn't marry me so I shipped across the water
Way hay roll and go
And we rolled all night
And we rolled all day
For to spend our money along with sally brown

And now I am courting Sally's daughter
Way hay roll and go
And we rolled all night
And we rolled all day
For to spend our money along with sally brown.

I shipped off board a Liverpool liner
Way hey roll and go
And we rolled all night
And we rolled all day
For to spend our money along with sally brown
