Jack Hinks (Live)

Ah, when Jack comes ashore
 He's got money galore
 And he's seldom cut short of a job
 He can dress now as well
 As any can tell
 With a good silver watch in his fob
 Poor Jack in his life
 Was ne'er paired with a wife
 Though sometimes with lasses he links
 He's a seafaring sailmate
 Can gambol a caper
 Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks
 Oh, Jack Hinks
 When inclined for to spend
 He walks with a friend
 And with pleasure he sits himself down
 He tips off his glass
 And he winks at the lass
 And he smiles if she happens to frown
 And like a ramblin' true blue
 When the rent becomes due
 On the table the money he clinks
 He's a seafaring sailmate
 Can gambol a caper
 Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks
 Round home the other fall
 We fell into a squall
 Now the northermost head of Cape Freels
 We were washed away
 Without further delay
 At the thought how my spirit it chills
 We were bashed on the rocks
 Like a hard hunted fox
 Of death and destruction he thinks
 He's a seafaring sailmate
 Can gambol a caper
 Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks
 Oh, Jack Hinks
 Jack without fail
 Was out in that same gale
 Having drove across Bonavist Bay
 Oh Neptune did sail
 As he handed all sail
 And he had his two spars cut away
 Oh, but Providence kind so eases the wind
 And on sailors so constantly thinks
 He saved
 That seafaring sailmate
 Can gambol a caper
 That seafaring sailmate
 Can gambol a caper
 That seafaring sailmate
 Can gambol a caper
 Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks
