Billy O'Shea
Traditional Arrangement Michael Black
We all got drunk in Dublin City
Fall down me Billy
We all got drunk and the more's the pity
Fall down Billy O'Shea
CHORUS:
Fall down, fall down, fall down, me Billy,
We’re bound away for Americay,
Fall down Billy O’Shea
We lay down on Sir John Rogerson's Quay
And when we woke up we were out to sea
CHORUS:
Fall down, fall down, fall down, me Billy,
We’re bound away for Americay,
Fall down Billy O’Shea
We are no sailors Captain dear
And a bit unhappy to reef or steer
CHORUS:
Fall down, fall down, fall down, me Billy,
We’re bound away for Americay,
Fall down Billy O’Shea
The Captain said, "I've a cure for that
And here for a start is a dose of the cat."
CHORUS:
Fall down, fall down, fall down, me Billy,
We’re bound away for Americay,
Fall down Billy O’Shea
He sent him up to the topmast yard
When he hit the deck he took it hard
CHORUS:
Fall down, fall down, fall down, me Billy,
We’re bound away for Americay,
Fall down Billy O’Shea
We wrapped him up in the canvas sail
And we lowered him gently o'er the rail
CHORUS:
Fall down, fall down, fall down, me Billy,
We’re bound away for Americay,
Fall down Billy O’Shea
Over the side and down he goes
To Davy Jones with a stitch through his nose
CHORUS:
Fall down, fall down, fall down, me Billy,
We’re bound away for Americay,
Fall down Billy O’Shea
