Oh, they whacked me up and they whacked me down The mate he cracked me on the crown They whacked me round and round and round When I was just a shaver, a shaver Oh I was weary of the sea When I was just a shaver

When we lollopped around the (?) of Cape Horn I wished that I had never been born And I wished I was home both safe and sound When I was just a shaver, a shaver Oh I was weary of the sea When I was just a shaver A shaver When I was just a shaver
Lubber's Hole - a hole through the platform surrounding the upper part of the ship's mast, through which one may climb to go aloft. Lolloping - to move with a bobbing motion
