Verse 1
Well Here We Are, We're Back Again Safe Upon The Shore
In Belfast Town We'd Like To Stay And Go To Sea No More
We'll Go Into A Public House And Drink Till We're Content
For The Lassies They Will Love Us 'Til Our Money Is All Spent
Chorus
So Pass The Flowing Bowl While There's Whiskey In The Jar
And We'll Drink To All The Lassies At The Jolly Roving Tar
Instrumental
Verse 2
"Oh, Johnny Did Ya Miss Me When The Nights Were Long And Cold
Or Did You Find Another Love In Your Arms To Hold?"
Says He, "I Thought Of Only You While On The Sea Afar
So Come Upstairs And Cuddle With Your Jolly Roving Tar!"
Chorus
So Pass The Flowing Bowl While There's Whiskey In The Jar
And We'll Drink To All The Lassies At The Jolly Roving Tar
Verse 3
Well, In Each Other's Arms They Rode Until The Break Of Day
When The Sailor Rose And Said, "Farewell, I Must Be On My Way."
"Why, Don't Ya Leave Me, Johnny Lad! I Thought You'd Marry Me!"
Says He, "I Can't Get Married, For I'm Married To The Sea!"
Chorus
So Pass The Flowing Bowl While There's Whiskey In The Jar

So Pass The Flowing Bowl While There's Whiskey In The Jar

Well, Come You Bonnie Lassies Now, A Warning Take By Me
Never Trust A Man Like Me An Inch Above Your Knee!
I'll Tease You And I'll Please You But When I've Had My Fun
I'll Leave You In The Morning With A Daughter Or A Son! (What A Bastard!)
Chorus
So Pass The Flowing Bowl While There's Whiskey In The Jar
And We'll Drink To All The Lassies At The Jolly Roving Tar
So Pass The Flowing Bowl While There's Whiskey In The Jar
And We'll Drink To All The Lassies At The Jolly Roving Tar
So Pass The Flowing Bowl While There's Whiskey In The Jar
And We'll Drink To All The Lassies At The Jolly Roving Tar
So Pass The Flowing Bowl While There's Whiskey In The Jar
And We'll Drink To All The Lassies At The Jolly Roving Tar
