Great Big Sea - Jack Hinks Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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 seafarin', sailmakin', gamblin', caperin'
  • Grog-drinking hero,
  • Jack Hinks, oh, Jack Hinks
  • When inclined for to spend he walks in with a friend
  • And with pleasure he sits himself down
  • He tips up 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 seafarin', sailmakin', gamblin', caperin'
  • Grog-drinking hero,
  • Jack Hinks, oh, Jack Hinks
  • -- Instrumental bit
  • Bound home the other fall we fell into a squall
  • Round the northermost head of Cape Friels
  • 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 sailmakin', gamblin', caperin'
  • 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 rail as he hauled in all sail
  • And had his two spars cut away
  • Oh, but Providence kind so eases the wind
  • And on sailors so constantly thinks
  • He saved
  • That seafarin', sailmakin', gamblin', caperin' (x2)
  • Grog-drinking hero, Jack Hinks
