Lyrics/Paroles

Part 1: Now 'twas twenty five or thirty years since Jack first saw the light.
Part 2: He came into this world of woe one dark and stormy night.
Part 1: He was born on board his father's ship as she was lying to,
Part 2: 'Bout twenty five or thirty miles southeast of Baccallieu.

All
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 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.

The whale went straight for Baffin's 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 he's about."
He caught the whale 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.
