Verse 1
I (C major) am a sailor's wife in Hartlepool I dwell
(G major) Now my (F major) husband thinks I (C major) love him
And so might he (G major) well
But (C major) I just can't stand his face
when he at home does (G major) stay
For the (F major) only pleas (C major) ure that I have is
(F major) When he (C major) is away
Oh!
When he is away me loves
(G major) When he is away
For the (F major) only pleasure (C major) that I have
is (F major) when he (C major) is away
There's no comfort at home
for me while (G major) he does stay
(C major) For the (F major) only pleasure that (C major) I have
is (F major) when he (C major) is away
I'll wave him off from the town wall
with a (G major) faint teary eye
(C major) Then we'll (F major) roll down to the (C major) pub house
and drink the whole place (G major) dry
With (C major) all me girls around me,
we'll toast his (G major) sailin' days
(C major) For the only pleasure that I have
is (F major) when he (C major) is away
When he is away, me loves,
(G major) when he is away
For (C major) the (F major) only pleasure that (C major) I have
is (F major) when he is away
(C major) There's no comfort at home
for me while (G major) he does stay
(C major) For the (F major) only pleasure that (C major) I have
is (F major) when he is away.
(C major) I'll find himself a fancy man
and (G major) with him I will ride.
(C major) We'll roll arm in arm each night
until the morning's (G major) high.
For (C major) me instrument it is me own
and with it (G major) I will play.
(C major) For (F major) the only pleasure that (C major) I have
is (F major) when he (C major) is away.
Oh, when he is away, me loves,
(G major) when he is away
For (C major) the (F major) only pleasure that (C major) I have
is (F major) when he (C major) is away
There's no comfort at home
for me while (G major) he does stay
For (C major) the (F major) only pleasure that (C major) I have
is (F major) when he (C major) is away
For sly jobs I do fancy best,
like many a sailor's (G major) wife.
Cause (F major) if we can't en (A minor) joy ourselves,
(C major) then what good are our lives? (G major)
So (C major) here's to the girls of Hartlepool
who (G major) never rule the day.
For the (F major) only pleasure that I have
is when (C major) he is away.
Oh, when he is away,
me loves, (G major) when he is away.
For (C major) the (F major) only pleasure that (C major) I have
is (F major) when He (C major) is away.
There's no comfort at home
for me while (G major) He does stay.
(C major) For the (F major) only pleasure that (C major) I have
is (F major) when He (C major) is away.
(A flat major) Oh, (D flat major) when He is away,
beloved, (A flat major) when He is away.
For the (F sharp major) only pleasure that (D flat major) I have
is (F sharp major) when He is away.
(D flat major) There's no comfort at home
for me while (A flat major) He does stay
(D flat major) For the (F sharp major) only pleas (D flat major) ure that I have
is (F sharp major) when He is away
(D flat major) Oh, when He is away,
me loves, (A flat major) when He is away
For (D flat major) the (F sharp major) only pleasure that (D flat major) I have
is (F sharp major) when He (D flat major) is away
There's no comfort at home
for me while (A flat major) He does stay
(D flat major) For (F sharp major) the only pleasure that (D flat major) I have
is (F sharp major) when he (D flat major) is away
Oh, (A flat major) the (F sharp major) only pleasure that (D flat major) I have
is (F sharp major) when (D flat major) he is away
