Ye Mariners All - Fairport Convention

Oh, ye mariners all, as you pass by

Call in and drink if you are dry

Come spend, my lads, your money brisk

And pop your nose in a jug of this

Oh, ye mariners all, if you’ve half a crown

You’re welcome all for to sit down

Come spend, my lads, your money brisk

And pop your nose in a jug of this

Oh, ye gentlemen all, as you pass by

Call in and drink if you are dry

Call in and drink, think naught amiss

And pop your nose in a jug of this

And now I’m old and can scarcely drawl

Have an old grey beard and a head that’s bald

Fell my desire, fulfil my bliss

A pretty girl and a jug of this

Oh, when I’m in my grave and dead

And all my sorrows are past and fled

Transform me then into a fish

And let me swim in a jug of this

Oh, ye mariners all, as you pass by

Call in and drink if you are dry

Come spend, my lads, your money brisk

And pop your nose in a jug of this
