lyrics

When first I came to this fair land
And stepped onto the shore
I knelt right there upon the sand
And raised my hands to the lord

For milk and honey floweth here
And plenty to go around
I’ll find a job and stake my claim
And finally settle down
Ya, I’ll settle down

I’ll find a goodly wife that I can
Care for and adore
We’ll raise a brood up on dry land
And I’ll go to the sea no more

So into town I took my coin
To celebrate my luck
I drank with pretty women and
They drank my stories up

I rolled the dice round once or twice
With the local governor
He took my last farthing as tax
And he tossed me out the door
And I don’t remember anymore

Til I woke upon the docks to find
That I was sick and poor
Old Whaling Jack, pick up your sack
And return to the sea once more
Yo Ho!
