Martin Carthy – Ye Mariners All Lyrics

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 not 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
To pop your nose in a jug of this
