  Ye Ambully boys of Liverpool, and I'll hGave you all bAmeware

  WAmhen you sail on them packet ships,no dGungaree jackets Amwear

  But hCave a big monkey jAmacket all rCeady to your hGand

  For there bAmlow some cold nor'westers on the Gbanks of NewfoundAmland

Chorus

  We'll Cscrape her and we'll Amscrub her,With Choly stone and sGand

  For there bAmlow some cold nor'westers on the Gbanks of NewfoAmundland

We had Jack Lynch from Ballynahinch,Mike Murphy and some more

an' I tell you b’ys, well they suffered like hell

on their way to Baltimore

They pawned their gear in Liverpool

and they sailed as they did stand

But there blow some cold nor'westers

on the banks of Newfoundland

Chorus

Now the mate he did stand on the foc'sle head

and loudly he did roar

"Come rattle her in me lucky lads,

You're bound for America's shore.

Come wipe the blood off the dead man's face

And haul or you'll be damned!"

For there blow some cold nor'westers

on the banks of Newfoundland

  Chorus...Am

So now we're off the hook me boys,

and the land is white with snow

and soon we'll see the pay table

and we'll spend the night below

And on the docks, come down in flocks,

why,those pretty girls will say

"It's snugger with me then out on the sea,

on the banks of Newfoundland!"

Chorus
