Lyrics

As I was a walkin' down London Road
I come to Paddy West's house
He gave me a feed of American hash;
And He called it Liverpool scouse
He said "There's a ship that's a wantin' hands
And on her you'll quickly sign
The mate is a tyrant, the bosun's worse
But she will suit you fine"
Put on yer dungaree jacket
And walk up lookin' your best
And tell them that your a poor sailor lad
That came from Paddy West
Now when we had a feed me boys
The wind began to blow
He sent me in the attic
The main-royal for to stow
But when I got up in the attic
No main-royal could I find
So I turned around to the window
And I pulled the window blind
Put on yer dungaree jacket
And walk up lookin' your best
And tell them that your a poor sailor lad
That came from Paddy West
Now Paddy he piped hands on deck
Their stations for to man
His wife she stood in the doorway
With a bucket in her hand
And Paddy cried out, "Now let 'er rip!"
And she flung the water our way
Sayin' "Clew up your fore t'gan'sl, boys
She's takin' in the spray!"
Put on yer dungaree jacket
And walk up lookin' your best
And tell them that your a poor sailor lad
That came from Paddy West
There's only one thing for you to do
Before you sail away
Just step around the table
With the bullock's on display
And if they ask "Were you ever at sea?"
You can say "Ten times 'round the Horn"
You can tell 'em that your a sailor
Since the day that you was born
Put on yer dungaree jacket
And walk up lookin' your best
And tell them that your a poor sailor lad
That came from Paddy West
