 This / daDy was / lost Athe / Jeannie G/ C., and D

 My / livGing / haAs been / taken,D /

 I'll /G go to /A sea no / moDre. / / / / / / /

We set / out this / day in the / bright sun - / rise, /

The / same / as / any / other, /

My / son and / I and / old John / Price, /

In the / boat named / for my / Mother. /

I'll / go to / sea no / more. / / / / / / /

Now, it's / well you / know what the / fishing has / been, /

It's been / scarce and / hard and / cru - / el, /

But this / day, by / God, we / sure caught / cod, / and

We / sang and / we laughed like / foo - / ools. /

I'll / go to / sea no / more. / / / / / / / /

I'll / never know / what it was we / struck, /

But / strike we / did like / thunder. / /

John / Price gave a / cry and / pitched over - / side, /

Now it's / forever / he's gone / under. /

I'll / go to / sea no / more. /

Now a / leak we've / sprung, let there be / no de - / lay, /

If the / Jeannie / C. we're / sav - / ing, /

John / Price is / drowned and / slipped a - / way. /

So I'll / patch the / hole while you're / bailin', /

I'll / go to / sea no / more. / / / / / / /

But no / leak I / found from / bow to / hold, /

No / rock it / was that / got he - / er, /

But / what I / found made me / heart stop / cold, /

For / every / seam poured / water, /

I'll / go to / sea no / more. / / / / / / /

My / God, I / cried as / she went / down, /

That / boat was / like no / oth - / er, /

My / Father / built / her when / I was / nine, / and

Named her / for my / Mother, /

I'll / go to / sea no / more. / / / / / / / and

Sure, I / could / have a - / nother / made, /

In the / boatshop / down in / Do - / ver, /

But I / would not / love the / keel they / laid, /

Like the / one the / waves roll / over. /

I'll / go to / sea no / more. /

So come / all ye / lads, draw / near to / me, /

That / I be / not for - / sa - / ken, /

This / day was / lost the / Jeannie / C., / and

My / whole life / has been / taken. /

I'll / go to / sea no / more. / /
