As I was walkin' down London Road I came to Paddy West's house He gave me a dish of American hash And he called it Liverpool scouse He said, "There's a ship, she's taking hands And on her you must sign The mate's a bastard, the captain's worse And she will do you fine" Take off your dungaree jackets And give yourselves a rest And think of them cold nor'westers We had in Paddy West's Now Paddy he pipes, "All hands on deck There's stations for to man" His wife, she's stood in the doorway With a bucket in her hand And Paddy, he cries, "Now, let 'er rip" She throws the water our way Crying, "Clew up your fore t'gan'sl boys She's taking on the spray" Take off your dungaree jackets And give yourselves a rest And think of them cold nor'westers We had in Paddy West's Now seeing she's off to southward To Frisco she was bound Now Paddy he takes out a length of rope And he lays it on the ground And we all steps over and back again And he says to me, "That's fine If they ever ask, "Were you ever at sea?" You can say you've crossed the line" Take off your dungaree jackets And give yourselves a rest And think of them cold nor'westers We had in Paddy West's "Now there's just one thing for you to do Before you sail away Just step around the table Where the bullock's horns do lay If they ever ask, "Were you ever at sea?" You can say, "Ten times 'round the Horn" By Jesus, you're an old sailor man From the day that you were born" Take off your dungaree jackets And give yourselves a rest And think of them cold nor'westers We had in Paddy West's Take off your dungaree jackets And give yourselves a rest And think of them cold nor'westers We had in Paddy West's Put on your dungaree jackets And walk out looking your best And tell 'em you're an old sailor man That comes from Paddy West's
