Whup Jamboree

The Pilot he looks out ahead Hand in the chains heaving on the lead And the Union Jacks at our masthead "Come and get your oats me son" Chorus: Whup Jamboree, Whup Jamboree Oh you pigtail sailor hanging down behind Whup Jamboree, Whup Jamboree Come and get your oats me son. 2. And now we’re past The Lizard light And The Start me boys will heave in sight We’ll soon be abreast of the Isle of Wight Come and get your oats me son Chorus: 3. And when we reach those Blackwall docks The pretty young girls’ll come down in flocks With their long tailed drawers and their short tailed frocks Come and get your oats me son Chorus:

4. Or else brave boys be of good cheer For the Irish coast will soon draw near And we’ll set a coarse for old Cape Clear Come and get your oats be son. Chorus: 5. The Union Jacks at our masthead And bosun roars to wake the dead We’ll soon be level with Birkenhead Come and get your oats me son Chorus: 6. And when we reach those Liverpool docks All hammocks lashed and all chests locked We’ll be up to Dan Lowries on the spot Come and get your oats me son. Chorus:
