[Verse 1] Oh, the sun was high in the noonday sky, When Jack set sail on the roaring tide. With a bottle of rum and a gleam in his eye, He swore he'd see the world far and wide. [Chorus] Way hey, and up he rises, Drunk sailor, never wiser. Singin' songs and tellin' lies, Till the morning light blinds his eyes. [Verse 2] In every port and every town, Jack would stumble all around. With a jig and a reel and a hearty cheer, He'd dance away the night with a beer. [Verse 3] One stormy night off Galway Bay, The sea rose high, the ship did sway. Jack took a swig and laughed with glee, "What's a little storm to the likes of me?" **Verse 4:** When the ship docked in the early dawn, Jack was found on the deck, a yawn. With his bottle empty, his tales all told, He'd greet the day, feeling brave and bold. **Chorus:** Way hey, and up he rises, Drunk sailor, never wiser.
