All For Me Grog This song is a not a shanty, it is a sea song. Grog was a mixture of rum and water served aboard ship. The amount of rum used varied with the ship and the times. It was served as a ration in the United States Navy until September 1, 1862, and in the Royal Navy until 1970. Music by - Bruno's Brawlers Lyrics And it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog All for me beer and tobacco Well I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin Across the western ocean I must wander Where are me boots, me noggin, noggin boots they're all gone for beer and tobacco For the heels they are worn out and the toes are kicked about And the soles are looking for better weather And it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog All for me beer and tobacco Well I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin Across the western ocean I must wander Where is me shirt me noggin, noggin shirt It's all gone for beer and tobacco For the collar is all worn and the sleeves they are all torn And the tail is looking for better weather And it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog All for me beer and tobacco Well I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin Across the western ocean I must wander I'm sick in the head and I haven't gone to bed Since I first came ashore from me slumber For I spent all me dough on the lassies don't you know Far across the western ocean I must wander And it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog All for me beer and tobacco Well I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin Across the western ocean I must wander MAIN MENU / NEXT SONG
