My Last Night in Baltimore

[00:12.97] We were fresh from the sea
[00:15.02] Our pockets full of money
[00:16.66] When me and me mateys, we headed for the bar
[00:20.00] No sooner had we arrived
[00:21.68] Than one pint turned to five
[00:23.23] And a lassie grabbed me by the belt and dragged me towards the stairs
[00:26.46] Oh! Mother, don't wake me
[00:28.26] Don't jostle or shake me
[00:30.02] I spent all night drinkin' with the ladies by the shore
[00:33.40] And if I never wake
[00:34.83] Don't cry and don't shriek
[00:36.43] Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore
[00:43.17] There were redheads, there were blondes
[00:44.92] Brunettes of which I'm fond
[00:46.53] We plied 'em with cheap alcohol, so they wouldn't leave our side
[00:49.94] Before the night was through
[00:51.54] We each had one or two
[00:53.20] And by midnight, our young cabin boy had found himself a bride
[00:56.40] Oh! Mother, don't wake me
[00:58.19] Don't jostle or shake me
[01:00.07] I spent all night drinkin' with the ladies by the shore
[01:03.27] And if I never wake
[01:04.83] Don't cry and don't shriek
[01:06.64] Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore
[01:13.05] We drank 15 kegs of beer
[01:14.83] Whiskeys from far and near
[01:16.78] We ate up all their venison, we choked down all their stew
[01:19.99] And when we were run dry
[01:21.71] We would not just stand by
[01:23.34] A raiding party went next door to liberate more brew
[01:26.50] Oh! Mother, don't wake me
[01:28.17] Don't jostle or shake me
[01:29.97] I spent all night drinkin' with the ladies by the shore
[01:33.27] And if I never wake
[01:35.08] Don't cry and don't shriek
[01:36.64] Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore
[01:40.13]
[01:56.31] Oh! Mother, don't wake me
[01:58.34] Don't jostle or shake me
[01:59.91] I spent all night drinkin' with the ladies by the shore
[02:03.12] And if I never wake
[02:04.84] Don't cry and don't shriek
[02:06.64] Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore
[02:13.14] Things started to go queer
[02:15.01] When Pat stole Kelly's beer
[02:16.36] So he put his fist into Pat's face and started up a fight
[02:19.89] Well, the brawl raged all around
[02:21.46] And we tore that tavern down
[02:23.10] But we rescued all the kegs, so we could drink on through the night
[02:26.57] Oh! Mother, don't wake me
[02:28.35] Don't jostle or shake me
[02:29.99] I spent all night drinkin' with the ladies by the shore
[02:33.25] And if I never wake
[02:34.82] Don't cry and don't shriek
[02:36.63] Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore
[02:42.98] Now me head is sore and achy
[02:45.07] Me bones are bruised and creaky
[02:46.64] And I don't truly expect that I should live to see the light
[02:49.96] So tell me girl in Leicester
[02:51.76] 'Til she dies, I'll miss her
[02:53.35] But in the mornin' if I'm livin', I'll be back tomorrow night!
[02:56.60] Oh! Mother, don't wake me
[02:58.26] Don't jostle or shake me
[03:00.02] I spent all night drinkin' with the ladies by the shore
[03:03.28] And if I never wake
[03:05.04] Don't cry and don't shriek
[03:06.78] Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore (one more time!)
[03:09.71] Oh! Mother, don't wake me
[03:11.54] Don't jostle or shake me
[03:13.42] I spent all night drinkin' with the ladies by the shore
[03:16.72] And if I never wake
[03:18.46] Don't cry and don't shriek
[03:20.06] Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore
[03:23.25] Just sing the glorious
[03:24.12] Just sing the glorious
[03:25.18] Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore, woo!
