Whip Jamboree

CHORUS

     Whip Jamboree, Whip Jamboree 

     With your pigtail, sailor, hangin’ down behind

     Whip Jamboree, Whip Jamboree

     Jenny, get your oatcakes done

Now me lads be of good cheer 

For the Irish coast will soon draw near

We’ll set a course for the old Cape Clear

     Oh Jenny, get your oatcakes done

Now Cape Clear it is in sight

We’ll be off Holyhead by tomorrow night

We’ll set a course for the old rock light

     Oh Jenny, get your oatcakes done

Now we’re passing Fort Perch Rock

All hammocks lashed and the sea-chests locked

We’ll wrap her up in the Waterloo Dock

     Oh Jenny, get your oatcakes done

Now, me lads, we are in dock

We’ll be off to Dan Lowry’s on the spot

And there we’ll sink a large pint pot

     Jenny, get your oatcakes done
