lyrics:
Chorus:
Well it's all for me grog, me noggin’ noggin’ grog,
all for me beer and tobacco.
For I spent all me tin with the ladies drinking gin,
Far across the western ocean I must wander.

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 me head is full of aches
And I think I’ll take a bath for way up yonder

Where are me boots, me noggin', noggin' boots,
They're all gone for beer and tobacco.
For the soles they were thin and the uppers letting in
And the heels were looking out for better weather.

Well, Where is me shirt, me noggin', noggin' shirt,
It's all gone for beer and tobacco,
For the sleeves have got worn out and the collar turned
about
And the arse was looking out for better weather.
