I<br \/>\nhave wonderful memories of walking into the old Gate of Horn in Chicago,<br \/>\n and hearing Alan Rebeck and Albert Grossman singing it. They would be<br \/>\nat a table near the door, Alan would straddle his chair with its back<br \/>\nfacing outward and his classical guitar propped on top. He and Grossman<br \/>\nwould harmonize on this and other sea chanteys for hours.<\/p>\n<p>This, as many a sailing song, warns of the dangers of the sea as well of those of shore leave.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to record this song for the Folk Den because we&#8217;re on tour<br \/>\nin Anchorage, Alaska, and there is a reference to the Acrtic Sea in the<br \/>\nsong. I don&#8217;t know of an Arctic Sea, but there is an Arctic Ocean on the<br \/>\n north coast of this state.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Anchorage radio station, KOOL FM for donating their studio<br \/>\nand to Brian Roberts ( kool973@alaska.net ) for engineering the<br \/>\nrecording.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics-header\">Lyrics:<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics\">\nWhen [Em] first I come to [D] Liverpool, I [C] went upon a [Em] spree<br \/>\nMe money at last I spent it fast, got drunk as [D] drunk could [B7] be<br \/>\nAnd [Em] when me money was all gone &#8217;twas then that I [D] wanted [B7] more<br \/>\n[Em] But a man must be blind or be [D] out of his mind to [C] go to sea once [Em] more<\/p>\n<p>I spent that night with Angeline, too drunk to roll in bed<br \/>\nMe clothes they were new and me money was too in the morning with &#8217;em she fled<br \/>\nAnd as I walked the streets alone, the whores they all did roar<br \/>\nThere goes Jack Tarr, that poor sailor lad, he must go to sea once more<\/p>\n<p>As I was walkin&#8217; down the street, I run into Rapper Brown<br \/>\nI asked him for to take me in and he looked at me with a frown<br \/>\nHe said last time you was on-board with me you chalked no score<br \/>\nBut I&#8217;ll take your advance and I&#8217;ll give you the chance<br \/>\nand I&#8217;ll send you to sea once more<\/p>\n<p>He shipped me aboard of a whaling ship bound for the Arctic Sea<br \/>\nWhere the cold winds blow through the frost and the snow and Jamaica rum would freeze<br \/>\nAlas I had no luck with me gear, for I&#8217;d spent all me money ashore<br \/>\n&#8216;Twas then that I wished that I was dead of safe with the girls ashore<\/p>\n<p>Some days we catchin&#8217; whales me lads some days we catching none<br \/>\nWith a twenty foot oar stuck in your hand from four o&#8217;clock in the morn&#8217;<br \/>\nAnd when the day is over lads, you sit on your weary oar<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s then that you wish that you were dead, you&#8217;d go to sea no more<\/p>\n<p>So come all you bold seafaring lads who listen to my song<br \/>\nAnd when you go out on them long trips, pray that you don&#8217;t go wrong<br \/>\nTake my advice, drink no strong drink, don&#8217;t go sleepin&#8217; with no whore<br \/>\nBut get married lads and have all night in and go to sea no more<\/p>\n<p>\u00ef\u00bf\u00bd 1998 McGuinn Music \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Roger McGuinn\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do I download this Mp3?
