all for me beer and tobacco,

              D                                 G                      D

well, I spent all me tin with the lassies drinkin' gin,

                                     A                     D

far across the western ocean I must wander.

 

           D                                 G                       D

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

                                                            A

    since first I came ashore with me plunder.

                      D                                          G                 D

    I've seen centipedes and snakes, me head is full of aches,

                                       A                        A7 D

    and I have to take a path for way out yonder.  + CHORUS

 

          D                                  G                       D

2. Where are me boots, me noggin' noggin' boots,

                                                     A

    they're all sold for beer and tobacco.

                    D                                           G                           D

    See, the soles, they were thin and the uppers were lettin' in,

                                                 A                     A7  D

    and the heels were looking out for better weather.  + CHORUS

 

          D                             G                        D

3. Where is me shirt, me noggin' noggin' shirt,

                                               A

    it's all sold for beer and tobacco.

               D                                                     G                               D

    The sleeves they were worn out and the collar being turned about,

                                        A                     A7  D

    and the tail is looking out for better weather.   + CHORUS

4. Where is me wife, me noggin' noggin' wife,

                                                   A

    she's all sold for beer and tobacco.

                            D                                       G                         D

    You see, her front was worn out and her tail was kicked about,

                                                A                    A7   D

    and I’m sure she's looking out for better weather.

 

              D                            G               D

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

                                    A

all for me beer and tobacco,

              D                                 G                      D

well, I spent all me tin with the lassies drinkin' gin,

                                     A                     D

far across the western ocean I must wander.

 

          D                             G                      D

5. Where is me bed, me noggin' noggin' bed,

                                               A

    it's all sold for beer and tobacco.

                       D                                              G                     D

    You see, I sold it to the girls and so the springs are all upturned,

                                                 A                    A7   D

    and the sheets are looking out for better weather.  + CHORUS
