Ye Mariners All

Norma Waterson

Ye mariners all as ye pass by

Come in and drink when you are dry

Come spend my lads your money brisk

And pop your nose in a jug of this



Ye tipplers all as ye pass by

Come in and drink when you are dry

Come spend my lads your money brisk

And pop your nose in a jug of this



Ye tipplers all if ye've half a crown

You're welcome all for to sit down

Come in sit down think nought amiss

To pop your nose in a jug of this



Oh now I'm old and can scarcely crawl

I've a long grey beard and a head that's bald

Crown 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



Ye mariners all as ye pass by

Come in and drink when you are dry

Come in sit down think nought amiss

And pop your nose in a jug of this
