Jack Was Every Inch a Sailor

Now t'was twenty-five or thirty years Since Jack first saw the light He came into this world of woe One dark and stormy night He was born on board his father's ship As she was lying to 'Bout twenty-five or thirty miles South-east of Bacalieu Jack was every inch a sailor Five and twenty years a whaler Jack was every inch a sailor He was born upon the bright, blue sea When Jack grew up to be a man He went to Labrador He fished in Indian Harbour Where his father fished before On his returning in the fog He met a heavy gale And Jack was swept into the sea And swallowed by a whale Jack was every inch a sailor Five and twenty years a whaler Jack was every inch a sailor He was born upon the bright, blue sea The whale went straight for Baffin's Bay Bout ninety knots an hour And every time he'd blow a spray He'd send it in a shower "O now", says Jack unto himself "I'll see what he's about" He grab the whale all by the tale And turned him inside out Jack was every inch a sailor Five and twenty years a whaler Jack was every inch a sailor He was born upon the bright, blue sea Jack was every inch a sailor Five and twenty years a whaler Jack was every inch a sailor He was born upon the bright, blue sea He was born upon the bright, blue sea He was born upon the bright, blue sea --- Jack Was Every Inch a Sailor - Splash'n Boots
