Irish Rovers Jolly Roving Tar


Well here we are we're back again,
safe upon the shore.
In Belfast town we'd like to stay
and go to sea no more.
We'll go in to a public house
and drink 'till we're content.
For the lassies they will love us
'till our money is all spent.

[Chorus]
So pass the flowing bowl boys
there's whiskey in the jar,
and we'll drink to all the lassies
at the jolly roving tar.

Oh Johnny did you miss me when,
the lights were on and cold.
Or did you find another love,
in your arms to hold.
Says he i thought of only you,
when on the sea a far.
So come up the stairs and cuddle,
with your jolly roving tar.

[Chorus]

Well in each others arms they hold
'till the break of day.
When the sailor rose and said,
I must be on my way.
Oh don't you leave me jolly lad,
I thought you'd marry me.
Says he i can't get married,
for I'm married to the sea.

[Chorus]

[Instrumental]

So come along you bonnie lassies now,
go on and take my lead.
And never trust an Irishmen,
an inch above your knee.
He'll tease you and he'll please you,
but when he's had his fun.
He'll leave you in the morning
with a daughter or a son.

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
