Whip Jamboree

Whip Jamboree! Whip Jamboree!
With your pig-tail, sailor, hangin’ down behind
Whip Jamboree! Whip Jamboree!
Oh Jenny get your oat cakes done

Now me lads be of good cheer
For the Irish coast will soon draw near
And we’ll set a course for old Cape Clear
So Jenny get your oat cakes done

Whip Jamboree! Whip Jamboree!…

Seh Whip Jamboree mi seh Whip Jamboree
A long time we been sailin’ inna dangerous sea
Whip jamboree tell ya whip jamboree
No stormy weather can’t stop we

But now it’s the time and we a homeward bound
So haul away mi bredda we will soon step the ground
Stand up, tell the crew and spread the word all around
Just heave her up and listen to the shantiman sound

Whip Jamboree! Whip Jamboree!…

And now the barship is in sight
And soon we’ll reach the old rock light
But I, oh I, I’ll be off by tomorrow night
So Jenny, get your oat cakes done

Whip Jamboree! Whip Jamboree!…

Cos Pony Pisador a come fi play
We sing it and we jig it inna different way, alright
No matter if the skies look grey
Upful music we deliver every night and everyday

So, cheer up my lad and cheer up my lass
Come all together and rise up your glass
Cause soon we will be layin’ inna soft green grass
With all of our people gathering around us

Whip Jamboree! Whip Jamboree!…
