The Irish Rovers - The Jolly Roving Tar lyrics

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 into a public house And drink till we're content For the la**ies they will love us Till our money is all spent So pa** the flowin' bowl Boys there's whiskey in the jar And we'll drink to all the la**ies And the jolly roving tar Oh Johnny did you miss me When the nights were long and cold Or did you find another love In your arms to hold Says he I thought of only you While on the sea afar So come up the stairs and cuddle With your jolly roving tar So pa** the flowin' bowl Boys there's whiskey in the jar And we'll drink to all the la**ies And the jolly roving tar Well in each other's arms they rolled Till the break of day When the sailor rose and said farewell I must be on me way Ah don't you leave me Johnny lad I thought you'd marry my Says he I can't be married For I'm married to the sea So pa** the flowin' bowl Boys there's whiskey in the jar And we'll drink to all the la**ies And the jolly roving tar Well come all you bonnie la**es And a warning take by me And never trust and Irishman An inch above your knee He'll tease you and he'll squeeze you And when he's had his fun He'll leave you in the morning With a daughter or a son So pa** the flowin' bowl Boys there's whiskey in the jar And we'll drink to all the la**ies And the jolly roving tar So pa** the flowin' bowl Boys there's whiskey in the jar And we'll drink to all the la**ies And the jolly roving tar
