All Through the Beer

I am a rambling lad

My story it is sad

time on shore has brought me only sorrow

I spent all me brass at the bottom of a glass

and I'm bound to put to sea again tomorrow

(Chorus)

Twas all the through the beer

the jolly jolly beer

twas all through the beer and Tobacco

I spent all my tin on the ladies drinking gin

Now across the western ocean I must wonder

Where is my hat my tried and trusty hat

the hat that I wear in cold weather

the crown was worn right through and the brim was well worn too

And the lining holds the whole damn thing together

Twas all the through the beer

the jolly jolly beer

twas all through the beer and Tobacco

I spent all my tin on the ladies drinking gin

Now across the western ocean I must wonder

Where's my sweetheart

I never wished to part

she's drove with the beer and tobacco

my praises she won't sing for I can't afford a ring

it's alone now I suppose that I'll be dwelling

Twas all the through the beer

the jolly jolly beer

twas all through the beer and Tobacco

I spent all my tin on the ladies drinking gin

Now across the western ocean I must wonder

I'm sick in the head

for I haven't been to bed

This sporting has proved my ruination I land back on the shore

I'll do it all once more

Bys listen to my mournful lamentation

Twas all the through the beer

the jolly jolly beer

twas all through the beer and Tobacco

I spent all my tin on the ladies drinking gin

Now across the western ocean I must wonder
