Here are the lyrics I have for this song.

GO TO SEA NO MORE

When first I landed in Liverpool I went upon a spree.
My money, alas, I spent it fast, got drunk as drunk could be.
And when that wee money was all gone, 'twas then I wanted more.
But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more.

Chorus
Once more, boys, once more,
Go to sea once more.
[+ last line of the verse]

I spent a night with Angeline, too drunk to roll in bed.
My watch was new and my money too, in the morning with them she'd fled.
And as I walked the streets about the horses all did roar
Their goes Jack Spread, the poor sailor lad, he must go to sea once more.

And as I walked the streets about I met with Rapper Brown.
I asked him for to take me on and he looked at me with a frown.
He said last time you was paid off with me you chaulked no score,
But I'll give you a chance and I'll take your advance and I'll send you to sea once more.

He shipped me on board of a whaling ship bound for the Arctic seas
Where the cold winds blow through the frost and snow and Jamaica rum wood freeze.
But worse to bear, I'd no hard weather gear for I'd spent all my money on shore.
'Twas then that I wished that I was dead and could go to sea no more

So come all you bold seafaring men who listen to my song.
When you come off them long trips I'll have you not go wrong.
Take my advice, drink no strong drink, don't go sleeping with them whores.
Get married instead and spend all night in bed and go to sea no more
