W:Now, 'twas twenty-five or thirty years since Jack first saw the light,
W:He came into this world of woe one dark and stormy night;
W:He was born on board his father's ship as she was lying to,
W:'Bout twenty-five or thirty miles southeast of Baccalieu.
W:CHORUS Jack was every inch a sailor,
W:Five and twenty years a whaler;
W:Jack was every inch a sailor,
W:He was born upon the bright blue sea.
