Billy O'Shea We all got drunk in Dublin City Fall down me Billy We all got drunk and the more's the pity Fall down Billy O'Shea We lay ourselves down on Rogerson's Quay Fall............ And when we woke up we were out to sea Fall............ We are no sailors Captain dear And a bit unhappy to reef or steer The Captain said, ""I've a cure for that And here for a start is a dose of the cat."" He sent him up to the topmast yard When he hit the deck he took it hard We wrapped him up in the canvas sail Farewell me Billy And we lowered him gently o'er the rail Farewell Billy O'Shea Over the side and down he goes Farewell............... He's gone to Davy Jones with a stitch through his nose Farewell............... Farewell, farewell, farewell me Billy For I am bound for Americay. as heard from Tom Munnelly MR OCT98
