- *Whip Jamboree

And now my lads be of good cheer
For the Irish Coast will soon draw near
And we’ll set a course for The Old Cape Clear
Jenny get your Oatcakes done

Whip Jamboree, whip Jamboree
Oh you pig-tailed sailor hanging down behind
Whip Jamboree, Whip Jamboree
Oh Jenny get your Oatcakes done

And now Cape Clear it is in sight
We’ll be off Holyhead by tomorrow night
And we’ll steer a course for The Old Rock Light
Jenny get your Oatcakes done

Whip Jamboree, whip Jamboree…

And now m’lads we’re off Holyhead
No more salt beef or weevily bread
One man in the chains for to heave the Lead
Jenny get your Oatcakes done

Whip Jamboree, whip Jamboree
Oh you pig-tailed sailor hanging down behind
Whip Jamboree, Whip Jamboree
Oh Jenny get your Oatcakes done

And now we’re rounding Fort Perch Rock
All hammocks lashed and sea-chests locked
We’ll haul her into Waterloo Dock
Jenny get your Oatcakes done

Whip Jamboree, whip Jamboree…

And now my lads we’re all in dock
We’ll be off to Dan Lowry’s on The Spot
And there we’ll sup from a Big Pint Pot
Jenny get your Oatcakes done
