So lads I went to Germany
All for to get a wife
Leave off all my follies and
To lead a happy life
I found a handsome woman
Right happy I was then
But soon it led to strife, dear lads
And I got drunk again
Then I went to England
All for to learn a trade
I met with two acquaintances
Two brisk and roving blades
We then struck up a party
Three jovial fellows then
By drinking free a hearty
And I got drunk again
I had a handsome fortune
I thought it would
Never be sunk
I lost it all by gambling
One night when I was drunk
Early in the morning
My head it was wracked with pain
To drive away my sorrows, lads
I got drunk again
Then I took to gamblin'
To make up my lost hours
But soon I found by gamblin'
I lost a great deal more
My friends and my relations
Right happy they were then
But losing all my money
So I got drunk again
I had a handsome fortune
I thought it would
Never be sunk
I lost it all by gambling
One night when I was drunk
Early in the morning
My head it was wracked with pain
To drive away my sorrows, lads
I got drunk again
Now we've been in Greenland
For more than four long years
And often I've been tipsy
From vodka, rum and beer
Tried to make a resolution
Not to distract my brain
But screw my constitution
I'm gonna get drunk again
I had a handsome fortune
I thought it would
Never be sunk
I lost it all by gambling
One night when I was drunk
Early in the morning
My head it was wracked with pain
To drive away my sorrows, lads
I got drunk again
I had a handsome fortune
I thought it would
Never be sunk
I lost it all by gambling
One night when I was drunk
Early in the morning
My head it was wracked with pain
To drive away my sorrows, lads
I got drunk again
So lads I went to Germany
All for to get a wife
Leave off all my follies and
To lead a happy life
I found a handsome woman
Right happy I was then
But soon it led to strife, dear lads
And I got drunk again
Then I went to England
All for to learn a trade
I met with two acquaintances
Two brisk and roving blades
We then struck up a party
Three jovial fellows then
By drinking free a hearty
And I got drunk again
I had a handsome fortune
I thought it would
Never be sunk
I lost it all by gambling
One night when I was drunk
Early in the morning
My head it was wracked with pain
To drive away my sorrows, lads
I got drunk again
Then I took to gamblin'
To make up my lost hours
But soon I found by gamblin'

So I got drunk again

My head it was wracked with pain
To drive away my sorrows, lads
I got drunk again
