W:"Up stepped Jack"
W:Up stepped Jack so nimble as a bee
W:Saying where is my true love Nancy
W:For she is the girl that I adore
W:And the only girl I fancy
W:She's oftime been where the strong winds do blow
W:She's oftime faced the daring foe
W:Now, come tell to me yes or no
W:If you will wed Jack a sailor?
W:Chorus:
W:Drink, boys, drink & push the grog about
W:For to-night we shall be so merry
W:For my wife she is most drunk & tight
W:I've brought gold & silver & jewels so bright
W:And I shall sleep with her to-night
W:And behave myself like a sailor.
W:
W:Do you think that I come a-courting you
W:With all my pockets empty?
W:Oh no' says Jack 'you need not a fear
W:I've gold & silver plenty
W:Then into her apron Jack he told
W:'500 guineas all in bright gold
W:All in her lap he throwed it bold
W:Saying 'Take that & wed Jack a sailor
