Lyrics The Dubliners

The Dubliners

All For Me Grog

I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed

Since first I came ashore with me plunder

I've seen centipedes and snakes

And my head is full off aches

And I'll have to make a path for way out yonder

And it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog

All for me beer and tobacco

Well I've spent all me tin with the lassies drinking gin

Far across the western ocean I must wander

Where are me boots, me noggin' noggin' boots

They're all sold for beer and tobacco

You see the sole's were gettin' thin

And the uppers were letting in

And the heels are looking out for better weather

And it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog

All for me beer and tobacco

Well I've spent all me tin with the lassies drinking gin

Far across the western ocean I must wander

Where is me shirt me noggin' noggin' shirt

It's all sold for beer and tobacco

You see the sleeves they got worn out

And the collar was turned about

And the tail is looking out for better weather

And it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog

All for me beer and tobacco

Well I've spent all me tin with the lassies drinking gin

Far across the western ocean I must wander

Where is me wife me noggin' noggin' wife

She's all sold for beer and tobacco

You see her front it got worn out

And her tail been kicked about

And I'm sure she's looking out for better weather

And it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog

All for me beer and tobacco

Well I've spent all me tin with the lassies drinking gin

Far across the western ocean I must wander

Oh, where is me bed me noggin' noggin' bed

It's all sold for beer and tobacco

You see I sold it to the girls

And the springs they got all twirls

And the sheets they're looking out for better weather
