1. Liverpool Packet
1. At the Liverpool docks, at the brake of the day
I saw a flash packet bound westward away
She was bound to the westwards where the salt tides do flow
REF: She’s a Liverpool Packet, oh lord let her go
FULL REF:
Bound away, oh
Bound away, oh
Through the ice sleet and snow
She’s a Liverpool Packet
Oh, lord let her go!
2. And now we’re a lying in the Mersey so free
Awaiting the tugboats to tow us to sea
And we’ll round the Rock light where the salt tides do flow
REF: She’s a Liverpool Packet, oh lord let her go
3. And now we’re a sailing down the wild Irish sea
Our passengers are happy, and their heart full of glee
Our sailors, like tigers; they walk to and fro
REF: She’s a Liverpool Packet, oh lord let her go
4. And now we’re a sailing the Atlantic so wide
and the orders are given to scrub the ship side
Now then holystones, boyos, the bosun do blow
REF: She’s a Liverpool Packet, oh lord let her go
5. And now we’re arriving in old New York town
We’re bound for the Bowery, and to let sorrows drown
With our beer and our girls; boys, we’ll let the song flow
REF: She’s a Liverpool Packet, oh lord let her go

mind,

behind….
5. Oh, south Australia is a bloody fine
place
To get blind drunk is no disgrace
6. I wish I was on a lonesome strand.
With rum and whisky all in hand.

Ref.: HEAVE AWAY, MY BOYS, FOR MEXICO
2. Vi skulle ut frå Amsterdam med ballast utav jord
Og seile heim til Fredrikstad, og laste høvla bord
3. Vi seilte ut kanalen og pumpa litt i mens
Men stod til neste formidda` før skuta ho blei lens
4. Og da vi kom i sjøen, gutt, jeg sier deg for sant:
Drakk skipper`n mer brennevin enn skuta ho trakk vann
5. Det var ein søndag morgen, vi blei purra ut til baut
Kokken kom fra rommet skreik at kjølsvinet flaut
6. Ja, sjømannslivet det er ikke alltid like lett
Og når han går i land så drikker han seg fra sitt vett!
7. Nå kan jeg inte synge mer for inte mer jeg veit…
JO, kokken brente rumpa si for byssa var for heit!!

5. Danse Polka
1. En vise vil jeg synge
og den er splitter ny
5. Jeg gledet meg til natta
den handler om ei jente som
og var så sjeleglà
jeg traff i New York by
Jeg gjorde kur, men hu var lur
og disse ord hu sa:
Ref; Å hal i vei ein sjanti
My dear, Annie
6. Min beste venn er Yankee
Oh, you New York girl
og går med kortklipt hår
Kan du danse polka?!
han sjømann er, og ganske nær
for skipet kom i går.
2. Jeg gikk nedover Broadway
en sommeraften varm
7. Han kommer hit i aften
En kvinne flott, i lyseblått
og blir nok her i natt,
kom hen og tok min arm
så kyss meg fort, for du må bort
han er sjalu, min skatt!
3. Vi sammen gikk på byen
til jeg blei drita full
8. Ja, jentene er falske
I en butikk hun ringer fikk
De holder aldri ord
som nesten var av gull.
Å hva de gjør, så snart de tør
Det kan du aldri tro.
4. Hu sa; ”du Ola Stokkfisk
kan følge med meg hjem
9. Jeg gjorde som hun ba meg
Du er så snill og liketil
for Yankeen kom der,
at du skal få en klem”
og sa: ADJØ, DU FALSKE MØ
NÅ VET JEG HVEM DU ER!

6. Den norske sjømann
1. Jeg fødtes uti nordsjøen
en stormfull vinternatt,
mens stormen skreik i vantene
og far min sto ved ratt
5. Å jentene i Japan
har øya helt på snei,
slik blei dem gitt fordi
dem stod og blingsa etter meg
Ref. Det var i brenning og vær,
det knakk i taljer og rær;
Den norske sjømann er et
gjennombarket folkeferd
Ref. Da jeg i brenning og vær
stakk utfra havnemoloen der,
med kursen ned til
Spaniens kastanjebrune trær.
2. Jeg vokste opp, ble vakrere
enn selve Don Juan,
og måtte søke poltì hjelp
mot jentene i land
6. Dit kom det førti nonner
om bord og henta meg,
dom ville preike for å få
meg inn på dydens vei
Ref. Det var i brenning og vær,
de lå og bad på sine knær;
Om at de alle kunne få bli min hjertens
kjær
Ref. Det var i brenning og vær,
jeg måtte gråte litt med hver;
Og når jeg dro fra Spanien
var det ingen nonner mer
3. Å jentene i Kina
er gule som safran
de kom at de fikk gulsott
av misunnelse den da`n
7. Ja, rundt på verdens strender
kan fortelles mye og mangt
fra jomfruland til Barcelona
er det ikke langt
Ref. Stakk av i brenning og vær,
ned til de svaiende trær;
Hvor Hawaii`s skjønne døtre
går og sprader uten klær
Ref. Heihå for brenning og vær
på alle holmer og skjær,
står jentene og gråter
over en de hadde kjær
4. Jeg gjorde hodet kruset
på de sorte lolaloer,
på Grønland fikk jeg skylda
for de hvite eskimoer
8. Ja rundt på verdens strender
gråter jenter overalt
så nå har jeg fått skylda
for at havet er så salt
Ref. Stakk av i brenning og vær,
helt ned til Tyrkia og der;
Ble harlem, sultan, redd,
og rekvirerte militær
Ref. Heihå for brenning og vær
På alle holmer og skjær
DEN NORSKE SJØMANN ER
ET GJENNOMBARKET FOLKEFERD!

The Diamond is a ship me lads,

For the Davis Straits she's bound
Likewise the Eliza Swan
And the Quay it is all garnished
Here's a health to the Battler of
With bonnie lassies round

Captain Thompson gives the order
And The Diamond ship of fame
To sail the ocean wide

We'll hae sweethearts enoo.

Wi' their shawls all pulled about them
And the blankets for to tear
And the salt tears runnin' down
And every lass in Peterhead
Oh don't you weep, my bonnie lass,
Sing hushabye my dear!
Though you be left behind
For the rose will grow on Greenland's ice
Chorus
Before we change our mind.

8. Leaving of Liverpool
Ref: So fare thee well, my own true love
And when I return, united we will be
It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me.
But my darling when I think of thee!
1. Fare thee well, to thee my own true love
I am sailing far away
I am bound for Cal-ey-for-nia
But I know that I’ll return some day.
2 .I have sailed aboard a yankee sailing ship,
Davy Crocket was her name.
And Forgess was the captain of her,
And they she was a floating shame
3. I have sailed with Forgess once before
and I think I know him well;
If a man’s a sailor he will get along,
But if not, then he sure’s in hell
4. Now fare thee well to thee, Princess Landing stage
And St. Tallis, and church Lane
For I know that it will be a long, long time
Before I see you again

That is where the cocks they do all grow
