  • Another wild ride of a shanty. This one was traditionally sung on the way back home.

    Lyrics
    Well, now me lads, be of good cheer,
    For the Irish Coast will soon draw near
    Then we'll set a course for old Cape Clear.
    Oh, Jenny, get your oat-cakes done.
    Whip jamboree, Whip jamboree,
    Oh you pig-tail, sailor, hanging down behind.
    Whip Jamboree, Whip Jamboree.
    Oh, Jenny get your oatcakes done.
    Well now Cape Clear it is in sight,
    We'll be off Holyhead by tomorrow night,
    we'll set a course for the old Rock Light,
    Oh, Jenny, get your oat-cakes done.
    Well, now we're passing Holyhead,
    no more salt-beef or weevilly bread,
    one man in the chains for to swing the lead.
    Oh, Jenny, get your oat-cakes done.
    And now we're passing Fort Perch Rock
    all hammocks lashed and sea chests locked,
    we'll haul her in to the Waterloo Dock,
    Oh, Jenny, get your oat-cakes done.
    And now my lads we are all in Dock,
    we'll be off to Dan Lowry's on the spot,
    and then we'll sink a big pint pot.
    Oh, Jenny, get your oat-cakes done.
