Shipmates listen unto me. I'll tell you in my song
   D                    Em           A                   D
Of things that happened to me when I come home from Hong Kong.

As I walked down to Chatham Street, a fair maid I did meet
    D                    Em                A                 D
She asked me, please, to see her home. She lived on Bleecker Street

You can have a glass of brandy and something nice to eat

Before we sat down to eat, we had sev'ral drinks
    D             Em              A              D
The liquor was so awful strong, I quickly fell asleep

When I awoke next mornin, I had an achin' head
   D                 Em                 A               D
My gold watch and my pocketbook and the lady friend had fled
    D                  Em          A               D
Now lookin' round this little room nothing could I see
      D                 Em           A                  D
But a woman's shoes and apron, which now belonged to me

Now dressed in the lady's apron, I wandered most forlorn
      D                Em                A                  D
'Till Martin Churchill took me in and he sent me round Cape Horn
