Go to Sea No More  
KDM Lyrics arrangement …  
When first, I landed in Liverpool, I went upon a spree  
Me money, alas, I spent too fast - got drunk as drunk could be  
And when me money, it was gone, I knew I wanted more  
A man be blind to make up his mind and go to sea once more  
Once more, boys, once more and go to sea once more  
A man be blind to make up his mind and go to sea once more  
AI Generated picture of a whaling ship going  
out from Liverpool. Made Public image.  
Painting of Liverpool in 1875 by John  
Atkinson Grimshaw. Made Public image.  
I spent the night with Angeline, too drunk to roll in bed  
Me watch was new - me money too – next morning she had fled.  
And as I walked the streets about, the whores they all did roar  
There goes Jack Strapp, that poor sailor lad, and he goes to sea once more  
Once more, boys, once more, oh, go to sea once more  
There goes Jack Strapp, that poor sailor lad, and he goes to sea once more  
Old photographs of the time. Left; beggar children in the  
street, and Right; Victorian Brothel in Liverpool. Most girls  
in this time period did not live into their twenties.
