The Vinelanders - Across The Western Ocean

Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin with the lassies drinking gin
Far across the western ocean I must wander

Where are me boots, me noggin', noggin' boots?
They're all gone for beer and tobacco
For the heels they are worn out and the toes are kicked about
And the soles are looking out for better weather
Where is me shirt, my noggin', noggin' shirt?

It's all gone for beer and tobacco
For the collar is all worn, and the sleeves they are all torn
And the tail is looking out for better weather
I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed

Since first I came ashore with me slumber
For I spent all me dough on the lassies movin' slow
Far across the western ocean I must wander
Where is me bed, me noggin' noggin bed

It's all gone for beer and tobacco
Well I lent it to a whore and now the sheets are all tore
And the springs are looking out for better weather

Where is me wench, me noggin' noggin' whence
She's all gone for beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin with the lassies drinking gin
Far across the western ocean I must wander
