All For Me Grog

Capstan and Halyard shanty*

Chorus:

Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog,

It's all for me beer and tobacco.

For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin,

Far across the western ocean I must wander.

Where are me boots, me noggin', noggin' boots,

They're all gone for beer and tobacco.

For the heels they are worn out and the toes are kicked about

And the soles are looking out for better weather.

Chorus:

Where is me shirt, me noggin', noggin' shirt,

It's all gone for beer and tobacco,

For the collar is all worn, and the sleeves they are all torn,

And the tail is looking out for better weather.

Chorus:

Where are me breeches, me nobby, nobby breeches
They're all gone for beer and tobacco.
For the pouch is near wore out and the seat's all flying about
And me knees are looking out for better weather                                                                              Chorus:

Where is my coat, me nobby, nobby coat

It's all gone for beer and tobacco.

For the sides are near wore out and the back is flying about

And the lining's looking out for better weather

Chorus:  

I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed,

Since first I came ashore from me slumber,

For I spent all me dough on the lassies don't you know,

Far across the western ocean I must wander.
