Go to Sea No More
KDM Lyrics arrangement …
When first, I landed in Liverpool, I went upon a spree
Me money, alas, I spent too fast - got drunk as drunk could be
And when me money, it was gone, I knew I wanted more
A man be blind to make up his mind and go to sea once more
Once more, boys, once more and go to sea once more
A man be blind to make up his mind and go to sea once more
AI Generated picture of a whaling ship going
out from Liverpool. Made Public image.
Painting of Liverpool in 1875 by John
Atkinson Grimshaw. Made Public image.
I spent the night with Angeline, too drunk to roll in bed
Me watch was new - me money too – next morning she had fled.
And as I walked the streets about, the whores they all did roar
There goes Jack Strapp, that poor sailor lad, and he goes to sea once more
Once more, boys, once more, oh, go to sea once more
There goes Jack Strapp, that poor sailor lad, and he goes to sea once more
Old photographs of the time. Left; beggar children in the
street, and Right; Victorian Brothel in Liverpool. Most girls
in this time period did not live into their twenties.
