1
It was on one summer's evening
2
Heave and haul away
3
When the full moon it was waning
4
Won't you go my way?
5
I met her on the bowery
6
Down in Mobil Bay
7
Her beauty overpowered me
8
Won't you go my way?
9
Come my own love, come my true love
10
Come and listen unto me
11
Could you fancy a poor sailor
12
Who's just come from the sea?
13
You are ragged, you are dirty
14
And your clothes smell of tar
15
So be off you saucy sailor
16
Be off you jacky tar
17
Her lips were red and rosy
18
Heave and haul away
19
And her figure was neat and cosy
20
Won't you go my way?
21
So I asked her for to marry
22
Heave and haul away
23
But she said she'd rather tarry
24
Won't you go my way?
25
Won't you go my way? Won't you go my way?
26
When the ocean's bright in the pale moonlight
27
Won't you go my way?
28
Do you think that I am foolish?
29
Do you think that I am mad?
30
For to marry with the likes of you
31
When there's no money to be had
32
Though I'm ragged and I'm dirty
33
And my clothes of tar they smell
34
I have silver in my pocket
35
And a store of gold as well
36
And when she heard him say these words
37
Down on her knees she fell
38
Saying "Dirty, ragged sailor
39
I love more than words can tell"
40
Do you think that I am foolish?
41
Do you think that I am mad?
42
For to marry with the likes of you
43
When there are better girls to be had
44
So I left her in the morning
45
Heave and haul away
46
In the morning bright and early
47
Won't you go my way?
48
And I'm on my way to Frisco
49
Heave and haul away
50
Yes I'm off to San Francisco
51
Won't you go my way?
52
For I'll sail across the ocean
53
And my ship will spread her wings
54
I'll find a better love than you
55
It's not for you this wedding ring
56
I am frolicsome and easy
57
Good-tempered and free
58
And I don't give a single pin
59
What the world thinks of me
60
So it's goodbye Juliana
61
Heave and haul away
62
And it's farewell Juliana
63
Won't you go my way?
64
Now I'm on my way to Frisco
65
Heave and haul away
66
Yes I'm off to San Francisco
67
Won't you go my way?
68
Won't you go my way? Won't you go my way?
69
When the ocean's bright in the pale moonlight
70
Won't you go my way?
