Across the Western Sea - The Irish Rovers

As I was walking down the street

Across the western ocean

A furry young lassie I did meet

Across the western sea

She was a beauty bound and stern

Across the western ocean

And for her treasures I did yearn

Across the western sea

Oh when we reach the other shore

Across the western ocean

We’ll drink like hell we’ll rant and roar

Across the western sea

She asked me if I’d stand a treat

Across the western ocean

I will says I for one so sweet

Across the western sea

Up to her quarters we did go

Across the western ocean

I kissed her from her head to toe

Across the western sea

Oh when we reach the other shore

Across the western ocean

We’ll drink like hell we’ll rant and roar

Across the western sea

We took no rest we forged ahead

Across the western ocean

We rocked and rolled around the bed

Across the western sea

Then heavy footsteps on the stairs

Across the western ocean

Oh dear she says my husbands there

Across the western sea

Oh when we reach the other shore

Across the western ocean

We’ll drink like hell we’ll rant and roar

Across the western see

I left the bed put on me colthes

Across the western ocean

His fist it found me bare old nose

Across the western sea

He shoke me like a ragged doll

Across the western ocean

I was kicked about like an old football

Across the western sea

Oh when we reach the other shore

Across the western ocean

We’ll drink like hell we’ll rant and roar

Across the western sea

He’d murder me I quite well

Across the western ocean

So down the stairs I fell like hell

Across the western sea

Come sailor boys where ever ya be

Across the western ocean

I hope ya’s all take mind of me

Across the western sea

Oh when we reach the other shore

Across the western ocean

We’ll drink like hell we’ll rant and roar

Across the western sea

Oh when we reach the other shore

Across the western ocean

We’ll drink like hell we’ll rant and roar

Across the western sea
