All For Me Grog
"All For Me Grog"
Traditional, arranged by Scott Cooley.
Chorus:
All for me grog, me jolly jolly grog
All for me beer and tobacco
For I spent up all me tin on the lasses drinking gin
And across the western ocean I must wander
Where is me boots, me noggin noggin boots
All gone for beer and tobacco
You see the sole's were gettin' thin and the uppers letting in
And the toes are lookin’ out for better weather
Repeat chorus
Where is me shirt, me noggin noggin shirt
All gone for beer and tobacco
You see the sleeves they got worn out, and the collar turned about
And the tail is lookin' out for better weather
Repeat chorus
Where is me wife, me noggin noggin wife
She’s all gone for beer and tobacco
You see her front it got worn out, and her tail’s been kicked about
And I'm sure she's looking out for better weather
Repeat chorus
Where is me wench, me noggin noggin wench
She’s all gone for beer and tobacco
Oh, her lips is all wore out, and the front is knocked about
Now her tail is lookin’ out for better weather
Repeat chorus
And where is me bed, me noggin noggin bed
It’s all gone for beer and tobacco
For the mattress is all tore, for I lent it to a whore
But the springs are lookin’ out for better weather
Repeat chorus
I’m sick in the head, I haven’t been to bed
Since first I came ashore with me plunder
I see centipedes and snakes and I’m full of pains and aches
And I think I’ll take a trip out over yonder
Repeat chorus
