The Jolly Roving Tar Chords by Seth Staton Watkins

[Verse]
N.C.                             
Well here we are we're back again
N.C.               
Safe upon the shore
N.C.                             
In Belfast Town we'd like to stay
N.C.                 
And go to sea no more
N.C.                        
We'll go into a public house
N.C.                         
And drink 'till we're content
N.C.                             
For the lassies they will love us
N.C.                        
'till our money is all spent
N.C.                    
So pass the flowin' bowl
N.C.                           
Boys there's whiskey in the jar
N.C.                              
And we'll drink to all the lassies
N.C.                    
And the Jolly Roving Tar
N.C.                      
How Johnny did you miss me
N.C.                              
When the nights were long and cold
N.C.                        
Or did you find another love
N.C.                
In your arms to hold
N.C.                         
Says he I thought of only you
N.C.                 
While on the sea afar
N.C.                            
So come up the stairs and cuddle
N.C.                      
With your Jolly Roving Tar
N.C.                    
So pass the flowin' bowl
N.C.                           
Boys there's whiskey in the jar
N.C.                              
And we'll drink to all the lassies
N.C.                    
And the Jolly Roving Tar
N.C.                              
Well in each other's arms the rode
N.C.                  
'till the break of day
N.C.                                  
When the sailor rose and said farewell
N.C.               
I must be on me way
N.C.                             
Why don't you leave me Johnny lad
N.C.                    
I thought you'd marry me
N.C.                       
Says he I can't get married
N.C.                      
For I'm married to the sea
N.C.                    
So pass the flowin' bowl
N.C.                           
Boys there's whiskey in the jar
N.C.                              
And we'll drink to all the lassies
N.C.                    
And the Jolly Roving Tar
N.C.                           
Well come all you bonnie lasses
N.C.                    
Now a warning take by me
N.C.                    
Never trust and Irishman
N.C.                   
An inch above your knee
N.C.                                
He'll tease you and he'll please you
N.C.                     
But when he's had his fun
N.C.                          
He'll leave you in the morning
N.C.                    
With a daughter or a son


[Chorus]
N.C.                    
So pass the flowin' bowl
N.C.                           
Boys there's whiskey in the jar
N.C.                              
And we'll drink to all the lassies
N.C.                    
And the Jolly Roving Tar
N.C.                    
So pass the flowin' bowl
N.C.                           
Boys there's whiskey in the jar
N.C.                              
And we'll drink to all the lassies
N.C.                    
And the Jolly Roving Tar
