[00:00.00]
[00:08.53]Well here we are, we're back again
[00:10.46]Safe upon the shore
[00:12.37]In Belfast town we'd like to stay
[00:14.66]And go to sea no more
[00:16.57]We'll go into a public house
[00:18.82]And drink till we're content
[00:20.90]For the lassies they will love us
[00:22.90]Till our money is all spent
[00:24.76]So pass the flowin' bowl
[00:26.79]Boys there's whiskey in the jar
[00:28.86]And we'll drink to all the lassies
[00:30.90]And the jolly roving tar
[00:33.46]
[00:37.56]Oh Johnny did you miss me
[00:39.27]When the nights were long and cold
[00:41.67]Or did you find another love
[00:43.70]In your arms to hold
[00:45.82]Says he I thought of only you
[00:47.99]While on the sea afar
[00:49.94]So come up the stairs and cuddle
[00:51.73]With your jolly roving tar
[00:54.05]So pass the flowin' bowl
[00:55.77]Boys there's whiskey in the jar
[00:57.83]And we'll drink to all the lassies
[00:59.92]And the jolly roving tar
[01:02.45]
[01:06.44]Well in each other's arms they rolled
[01:08.66]Till the break of day
[01:10.58]When the sailor rose and said farewell
[01:12.57]I must be on me way
[01:14.61]Ah don't you leave me Johnny lad
[01:16.77]I thought you'd marry me
[01:18.81]Says he I can't get married
[01:20.78]For I'm married to the sea
[01:22.97]So pass the flowin' bowl
[01:24.76]Boys there's whiskey in the jar
[01:26.82]And we'll drink to all the lassies
[01:28.88]And the jolly roving tar
[01:31.46]
[01:47.84]Well come all you bonnie lasses now
[01:49.58]A warning take by me
[01:51.94]And never trust an Irishman
[01:54.06]An inch above your knee
[01:56.03]He'll tease you and he'll squeeze you
[01:58.09]And when he's had his fun
[02:00.16]He'll leave you in the morning
[02:01.93]With a daughter or a son
[02:04.35]So pass the flowin' bowl
[02:06.06]Boys there's whiskey in the jar
[02:08.14]And we'll drink to all the lassies
[02:10.22]And the jolly roving tar
[02:12.56]So pass the flowin' bowl
[02:14.29]Boys there's whiskey in the jar
[02:16.34]And we'll drink to all the lassies
[02:18.34]And the jolly roving tar
text lyrics

Well here we are, we're back again
Safe upon the shore
In Belfast town we'd like to stay
And go to sea no more
We'll go into a public house
And drink till we're content
For the lassies they will love us
Till our money is all spent
So pass the flowin' bowl
Boys there's whiskey in the jar
And we'll drink to all the lassies
And the jolly roving tar
Oh Johnny did you miss me
When the nights were long and cold
Or did you find another love
In your arms to hold
Says he I thought of only you
While on the sea afar
So come up the stairs and cuddle
With your jolly roving tar
So pass the flowin' bowl
Boys there's whiskey in the jar
And we'll drink to all the lassies
And the jolly roving tar
Well in each other's arms they rolled
Till the break of day
When the sailor rose and said farewell
I must be on me way
Ah don't you leave me Johnny lad
I thought you'd marry me
Says he I can't get married
For I'm married to the sea
So pass the flowin' bowl
Boys there's whiskey in the jar
And we'll drink to all the lassies
And the jolly roving tar
Well come all you bonnie lasses now
A warning take by me
And never trust an Irishman
An inch above your knee
He'll tease you and he'll squeeze you
And when he's had his fun
He'll leave you in the morning
With a daughter or a son
So pass the flowin' bowl
Boys there's whiskey in the jar
And we'll drink to all the lassies
And the jolly roving tar
So pass the flowin' bowl
Boys there's whiskey in the jar
And we'll drink to all the lassies
And the jolly roving tar
