Jack was every inch a sailor,
He was born upon the bright blue sea.
'twas twenty-five or thirty years
since Jack first saw the light,
He came into this world of woe
one dark and stormy night;
He was born on board his father's ship
as she was lying to,
'Bout twenty-five or thirty miles,
southeast of Baccalieu.
Oh, Jack was every inch a sailor,
Five and twenty years a whaler;
Jack was every inch a sailor,
He was born upon the bright blue sea.
When Jack grew up to be a man
he went to the Labrador,
He fished in Indian Harbour
where his father fished before;
On his returning in the fog,
he met a heavy gale,
And Jack was swept into the sea
and swallowed by a whale.
Oh, Jack was every inch a sailor,
Five and twenty years a whaler;
Jack was every inch a sailor,
He was born upon the bright blue sea.
Oh, Jack was every inch a sailor,
Five and twenty years a whaler;
Jack was every inch a sailor,
He was born upon the bright blue sea.
Oh, the whale went straight for Baffin Bay,
'bout ninety knots an hour,
And every time he'd blow a spray
he'd send it in a shower;
Oh, now, says Jack unto himself,
I must see what it's about,
He caught the whale all by the tail
and turned him inside out.
Oh, Jack was every inch a sailor,
Five and twenty years a whaler;
Jack was every inch a sailor,
He was born upon the bright blue sea.
Oh, Jack was every inch a sailor,
Five and twenty years a whaler;
Jack was every inch a sailor,
He was born upon the bright blue sea.
He was born upon the bright blue sea.
He was born upon the bright blue sea.
