Verse 1
C
Now
'twas twenty five or thirty years
G
Since Jack first saw the light
He came into this world of woe
C
One dark and stormy night.
He was born on board
his father's ship
G
As she was lying to
'Bout twenty five or thirty miles
C
Southeast of Baccalieu.
Verse 2
C
Chorus: Jack was
G
ev'ry inch a sailor,
C
Five and twenty years a whaler,
G
Jack was ev'ry inch a sailor,
C
He was born upon the bright blue sea.
Verse 3
C
When Jack grew up to be a man,
He went to the Labrador,
G
He fished in Indian Harbour,
C
Where his father fished before.
On his returning in the fog,
G
He met a heavy gale,
And Jack was swept into the sea
C
And swallowed by a whale.

Verse 4
C
G
The whale went straight for
C
Baffin's Bay,
G
About ninety knots an hour.
And every time he'd blow a spray
C
He'd send it in a shower.
"O, now" says Jack unto himself,
G
"I must see what he's about,"
He caught the whale by the tail
C
And turned him inside out.
