The soldier and the sailor went a-walking one day
Said the sailor to the soldier, "I've a good mind to pray
For the rights of all people and the wrongs of all men,
May the Devil double double triple damn them!"
Said the soldier, "A-men."

"Now here's to those lawyers, they'll plead for your cause,
They'll take your hard earnings and give you hard laws.
They'll send you to jail at last, and there to remain.
May the Devil double-double-triple-damn them!"
Said the soldier, "A-men."

"Here's to the ministers, they'll preach and they'll pray,
They'll take your hard earnings and fool it away.
They'll send you to hell at last, and there to remain.
May the Devil double-double-triple-damn them!"
Said the soldier, "A-men."

"Now here's to the farmer that follows his plough
And gets his hard earnings by the sweat of his brow.
Here's a health to the sailor and the soldier the same.
May the good God Almighty help them!"
Said the soldier, "A-men."

Derrière chez nous, y a z'un p'tit bois,
Ch: Hurra, mes boués, hour-ra!
J'cueillis deux frais'jen mangis trois,
Ch: Tra la, la la, la la la, la la!

Avec une fillett' de quinze ans,
Sa mère arrive au même instant.

Que faites-vous à mon enfant?
J'suis en train d'lui compter les dents.

Il lui en man-qu’une sur le d'vant.
Il lui en man-qu’une sur le d'vant.

Que je lui pose bellement.
Que je lui pose bellement

Il m'en man-qu’une également!
Il m'en man-qu’une également!

Donnez-moi z'en, marin galant.
Donnez-moi z'en, marin galant.

J'les pose qu'à celle de quinze ans.
J'les pose qu'à celle de quinze ans.

Les vieilles pour le commandant!
Les vieilles pour le commandant!

Now a long goodbye to you, my dear
Ch: With a heave-oh haul
And a last farewell, and a long farewell
Ch: And good morning, ladies, all

For we're outward bound to New York Town
And you'll wave to us till the sun goes down.

And when we get to New York town,
Oh it's there we'll drink, and sorrows drown.

When we're back once more in London Docks,
All the pretty girls will come in flocks.

And Poll, and Bet, and Sue will say:
"Oh it's here comes Jack with his three years' pay."

So a long goodbye to you, my dear,
And a last farewell, and a long farewell.
