All For Me Grog
All for me grog! Me jolly jolly grog!
All gone for beer & tobacco!
Spent all me tin wi’ the lassies drinkin gin,
And across the western ocean we must wander!
Where are me boots? Me noggin’ noggin’ boots,
All gone for beer & tobacco!
The heels are kicked about, and the soles are all wore out,
And me toes are lookin out for better weather!
Where is me shirt? Me noggin’ noggin’ shirt,
All gone for beer & tobacco!
The collar is wore out, and the front is roughed about,
And the tail is hangin out for better weather!
Where is me bed? Me noggin’ noggin’ bed,
All gone for beer & tobacco!
Well the sheets they got all torn, and the mattress got all worn
And the springs are hangin on for better weather!
Where is me wife? Me noggin’ noggin’ wife,
All gone for beer & tobacco!
Her dress is all wore out, and her hair’s all strewn about,
So she left me to go look for better weather!
