Now me lads be of good cheer
For the Irish coast will soon grow near
We'll set a course for the old Cape Clear
Oh Jenny get your oat cakes done
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
With your pig-tail sailor, hanging down behind
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh Jenny get your oat cakes done
Well, now Cape Clear it is in sight
We'll be off Holyhead by tomorrow night
We'll set a course for the old Rock Light
Oh Jenny get your oat cakes done
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
With your pig-tail sailor, hanging down behind
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh Jenny get your oat cakes done
Well, now we're passing Holyhead
No more salt beef or weevilly bread
One man in the chains for to swing the lead
Oh Jenny get your oat cakes done.
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
With your pig-tail sailor, hanging down behind
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh Jenny get your oat cakes done
Now we're passing Fort Perch Rock
All hammocks lashed and sea-chest locked
We'll warp her into the Waterloo Dock
Oh Jenny get your oat cakes done
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
With your pig-tail sailor, hanging down behind
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh Jenny get your oat cakes done
Now me lads we are in dock
We'll be off to Dan Lowrie's on the spot
And there we'll sink a big pint pot
Oh Jenny get your oat cakes done
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
With your pig-tail sailor, hanging down behind
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh Jenny get your oat cakes done
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
With your pig-tail sailor, hanging down behind
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh Jenny get your oat cakes done
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
With your pig-tail sailor, hanging down behind
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh Jenny get your oat cakes done
Jenny get your oat cakes done
Jenny get your oat cakes done
Whip!
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
With your pig-tail sailor, hanging down behind
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh Jenny get your oat cakes done
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
With your pig-tail sailor, hanging down behind
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh Jenny get your oat cakes done
