All For Me Grog
Lyrics and Music Traditional
Performed by The Poxy Boggards on Bawdy Parts
Performed by Jim Hancock on Good Companions and Rolling Home


Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin with the lassies drinking gin
Far 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 out for better weather

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 out for better weather

I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed
Since first I came ashore with me slumber
For I spent all me dough on the lassies movin' slow
Far across the western ocean I must wander

And where is me bed, me noggin', noggin' bed?
It's all gone for beer and tobacco
Well I lent it to a whore and now the sheets are all tore
And the springs are looking out for better weather

Where is me wench, me noggin', noggin' wench?
She's all gone for beer and tobacco
Well her (clap) is all worn out and her (clap) is knocked about
And her (clap) is looking out for better weather.

Well it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I've spent all me loot in a house of ill repute
And I think I'll have to go back there tomorrow!

Notes by Daniel Womack: An old traditional sailor's song. I haven't been able to discover any true origin for the song. Some trace it back to the 18th century but others say it's far newer, perhaps early 20th century. Either way it's a great drinking song that's sure to get your tankard swinging!
