Lyrics:

We're bound for sea
Bound where the wind blows free

But we'll go down to Mother Rackets
And we'll pawn our monkey jackets
And we'll have another drink 
Before the boat shoves off

We'll have another drink before the boat shoves off
We'll have another drink before the boat shoves off
We'll go down to Mother Rackets
And we'll pawn our monkey jackets
And we'll have another drink 
Before the boat shoves off


The decks are rotten and the planks are weak
And the old house shakes and it seems all leak
Oh a sailor's life when he's out at sea
Is full of troubles and misery

So we'll have another drink before the boat shoves off
We'll have another drink before the boat shoves off
We'll go down to Mother Rackets
And we'll pawn our monkey jackets
And we'll have another drink 
Before the boat shoves off

At sea the salty force's our curse
And the old dry biscuits are even worse
When the whiskey's gone and there's no more
The sailors growl and the captain roar

We'll have another drink before the boat shoves off
We'll have another drink before the boat shoves off
We'll go down to Mother Rackets
And we'll pawn our monkey jackets
And we'll have another drink 
Before the boat shoves off

When our ship she's late to the home we steer
When seduce comes ´round and there's lots of beer
We'll spend our money with the girls on shore
And when it's gone we'll look out for more

We'll have another drink before the boat shoves off
We'll have another drink before the boat shoves off
We'll go down to Mother Rackets
And we'll pawn our monkey jackets
And we'll have another drink 
Before the boat shoves off

God bless the widows that sure do weep
For the loss of their men that sank in the deep
Oh they left their homes on the mainland shore
They left their homes to return no more

We're bound for sea
Bound where the wind blows free

But we'll go down to Mother Rackets
And we'll pawn our monkey jackets
And we'll have another drink 
Before the boat shoves off

We'll have another drink before the boat shoves off
We'll have another drink before the boat shoves off
We'll go down to Mother Rackets
And we'll pawn our monkey jackets
And we'll have another drink 
Before the boat shoves off
