A tar but poorly prized	A
Long shambling and unsightly	B
Thrashed bullied and despised	A
Was wretched JOE GOLIGHTLY	B

No Pa or Ma had claimed him	D
The Beadle found him and	E
The Board of Guardians named him	D

A beggar p'r'aps his mother	G
HE rather thought the one	F
I rather think the other	G

He worshipped junk and he	B
Adored the First Lord's daughter	G

The First Lord's daughter proud	H
Snubbed Earls and Viscounts nightly	B
She sneered at Barts aloud	H
And spurned poor Joe Golightly	B

Whene'er he sailed afar	I
Upon a Channel cruise he	B
Unpacked his light guitar	I
And sang this ballad Boosey	B

The moon is on the sea	B
Willow	K
The wind blows towards the lee	B
Willow	K
But though I sigh and sob and cry	L
No Lady Jane for me	B
Willow	K

For me to wed a wight	M
Willow	K
Whose lot is cast before the mast	N
And possibly she's right	M
Willow	K

His skipper CAPTAIN JOYCE	B

What's come to that young man JOE	K
Belay 'vast heaving you	P
Do kindly stop that banjo	K
	-
I wish I do O lor'	L
You'd shipped aboard a trader	L
ARE you a sailor or	L
A negro serenader	L

But still the stricken lad	Q
Aloft or on his pillow	K
Howled forth in accents sad	Q
His aggravating Willow	K
	-
Stern love of duty bad	Q
Been JOYCE'S chiefest beauty	B
Says he I love that lad	Q
But duty damme duty	B
	-
Twelve months' black hole I say	B
Where daylight never flashes	B
And always twice a day	B
A good six dozen lashes	B

A sailor stout and lusty	B
A man of low estate	R

Guv JOE twelve months' black hole	T
For lovering your darter	L

You'll let her come aboard ship	W
I'll take her with me now	V
Get out remarked his Lordship	W

That honest tar repaired	X
To JOE upon the billow	K
And told him how he'd fared	X
JOE only whispered Willow	K
	-
And for that dreadful crime	Y
Young sailors learn to shun it	Z
He's working out his time	Y
In six months he'll have done it	Z
