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

fulfill 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
