"Doggerbank" lyrics
Sailing over the Dogger Bank
Oh, wasn't it a treat?
The wind a-blowing east-northeast
We had to give our sheet
You should to see us rally
The wind a-blowing free
On a passage from the Dogger Bank
To Great Grimsby
So watch her, twig her
She's a proper juby-ju
Give 'er sheet, let 'er rip
We're the boys to see her through
You should to see us rally
The wind a-blowing free
On a passage from the Dogger Bank
To Great Grimsby
Now the captain, he's a shangaroosh
And he loves a drop of good ale
The mate, he is a chimney sweep
And been in many a jail
The third hand was a bricker boy
The worst of all the crew
And take a look at the poor old cook
He gets the buggers through
So watch her, twig her
She's a proper juby-ju
Give 'er sheet, let 'er rip
We're the boys to see her through
You should to see us rally
The wind a-blowing free
On a passage from the Dogger Bank
To Great Grimsby
So it's watch her, twig her
It's down the street she came
With high heels and painted toes
Good Jinnie is on the game
She is one of them flash girls
Can't she cut a shine?
She can do a double shuffle
On the Knickerbocker Line
So watch her, twig her
She's a proper juby-ju
Give 'er sheet, let 'er rip
We're the boys to see her through
You should to see us rally
The wind a-blowing free
On a passage from the Dogger Bank
To Great Grimsby
Now, we're the boys to make a noise
When we come home from sea
We get right drunk, we roll on the floor
We have a jubilee
We get right drunk and full of beer
We roll all over the floor
And when the rent it is all spent
We'll go to sea for more
So watch her, twig her
She's a proper juby-ju
Give 'er sheet, let 'er rip
We're the boys to see her through
You should to see us rally
The wind a-blowing free
On a passage from the Dogger Bank
To Great Grimsby
So watch her, twig her
She's a proper juby-ju
Give 'er sheet, let 'er rip
We're the boys to see her through
You should to see us rally
The wind a-blowing free
On a passage from the Dogger Bank
To Great Grimsby
On a passage from the Dogger Bank
To Great Grimsby
Oh, wasn't it a treat?
The wind a-blowing east-northeast
We had to give our sheet
You should to see us rally
The wind a-blowing free
On a passage from the Dogger Bank

So watch her, twig her
She's a proper juby-ju
