[Verse 1]
   D               G                  A                    D
As I was a walkin' down London Road I came to Paddy West's house,
   D                  G***    D***        D                   G
he gave me a feed of American hash and he called it Liverpool scouse.
   D                             G***    D***      D                     G
He said "There's a ship that's a wantin' hands and on her you'll quickly sign.
    D                     Em                 A                 D
The mate is a tyrant, the bosun's worse, but she will suit you fine".
 
[Chorus]
    D               G***   D***  D                    G
Put on yer dungaree jacket   and walk up lookin' your best
    D                            G               A               D
and tell them that you're a poor sailor lad that came from Paddy West.
 
[Verse 2]
    D             G                A             D
Now when we had a feed me boys the wind began to blow.
   D              G***   D***     D                 G
He sent me in the at  -  tic, the main-royal for to stow.
    D                    G***   D***   D                  G
But when I got up in the at  -  tic no main-royal could I find.
      D                    Em           A                 D
So, I turned around to the window and I pulled the window blind.
 
[Chorus]
    D               G***   D***  D                    G
Put on yer dungaree jacket   and walk up lookin' your best
    D                            G               A               D
and tell them that you're a poor sailor lad that came from Paddy West.
 
[Verse 3]
    D              G                    A               D
Now Paddy he piped hands on deck, their stations for to man.
    D                     G***   D***       D             G
His wife she stood in the door - way with a bucket in her hand.
    D                     G***    D***          D                   G
And Paddy cried out, "Now let 'er rip!" and she flung the water our way
        D                   Em                  A             D
sayin' "Clew up your fore t'gan'sl, boys, she's takin' in the spray!"
 
[Chorus]
    D               G***   D***  D                    G
Put on yer dungaree jacket   and walk up lookin' your best
    D                            G               A               D
and tell them that you're a poor sailor lad that came from Paddy West.
 
[Verse 4]
        D                  G           A              D
There's only one thing for you to do before you sail away:
     D               G***   D***         D               G
just step around the ta  -  ble with the bullock's on display.
    D                     G***    D***          D                         G
And if they ask "Were you ever at sea?" you can say "Ten times 'round the Horn".
        D                      Em               A                D
You can tell 'em that you're a sailor since the day that you was born.
 
[End-Chorus]
    D               G***   D***  D                    G
Put on yer dungaree jacket   and walk up lookin' your best
    D                            G               A               D*** D*
and tell them that you're a poor sailor lad that came from Paddy West.
