Jack Hinks
View ArtistLyrics
[Verse 1] Ah, when Jack comes ashore he's got money galore And he's seldom cut short of a job He can dress now as well as any can tell With a good silver watch in his fob Poor Jack in his life was ne'er paired with a wife Though sometimes with lasses he links [Chorus] He's a seafaring, sail-making Gambling, capering Grog-drinking hero, Jack Hinks Oh, Jack Hinks [Verse 2] When inclined for to spend he walks with a friend And with pleasure he sits himself down He tips off his glass and he winks at the lass And he smiles if she happens to frown And like a ramblin' true blue when the rent becomes due On the table the money he clinks [Chorus] He's a seafaring, sail-making Gambling, capering Grog-drinking hero, Jack Hinks [Interlude] [Verse 3] Bound home the other fall we fell into a squall 'round the northermost head of Cape Freels We were washed away without further delay At the thought, how my spirit, it chills We were bashed on the rocks like a hard-hunted fox Of death and destruction he thinks [Chorus] He's a seafaring, sail-making Gambling, capering Grog-drinking hero, Jack Hinks Oh, Jack Hinks [Verse 4] Jack without fail was out in that same gale Having drove across Bonavist Bay Oh, Neptune did rail as he handed all sail And he had his two spars cut away Oh, but Providence, kind, so eases the wind And on sailors so constantly thinks [Outro] He saved that Seafaring, sail-making Gambling, capering Seafaring, sail-making Gambling, capering Seafaring, sail-making Gambling, capering Grog-drinking hero Jack Hinks
