Jack Was Every Inch A Sailor WITH LYRICS THAT ARE FUNNY!

YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS!!!!!! Lyrics:

Jack was every inch a sailor
Five and twenty years a whaler
Jack was every inch a sailor
He was born upon the bright, blue sea

Twas twenty-five or thirty years
Since Jack first saw the light
He came into this world of woe
One dark and stormy night
He was born on board his father's ship
As she was lying to
'Bout twenty-five or thirty miles
South-east of Bacalieu

Chorus:
Jack was every inch a sailor
Five and twenty years a whaler
Jack was every inch a sailor
He was born upon the bright, blue sea

When Jack grew up to be a man
He went to Labrador
He fished in Indian Harbour
Where his father fished before
On his returning in the fog
He met a heavy gale
And Jack was swept into the sea
And swallowed by a whale


Chorus:
Jack was every inch a sailor
Five and twenty years a whaler
Jack was every inch a sailor
He was born upon the bright, blue sea

The whale went straight for Baffin's Bay
Bout ninety knots an hour
And every time he'd blow a spray
He'd send it in a shower
"O now", says Jack unto himself
"I'll see what he's about"
He caught the whale all by the tale
And turned him inside out

Jack was every inch a sailor
Five and twenty years a whaler
Jack was every inch a sailor
He was born upon the bright, blue sea

  • He caught the whale all by the tail (not tale, which is a story)

    And turned he inside out (Newfoundlanders have a sometimes different use of pronouns)

  • my school sang this one too. 1978 was the year of the child and we recorded a song our class composed..on the other side of the 45 was this song...what a great childhood memory!!

  • @eskabible crazy to hear that it was heard all the way in California! It's written about my home province ; Newfoundland Labrador :)

  • i love this song and my daddy grew up listening to it

  • I sang this song 50 years ago in Miss La Vay's 6TH grade class room at Hillcrest Elementary School in Monterey Park Ca. Nice to see it is still being taught . Good job Kids!
