Sit down and learn, boy, so you can make a four
Use your mother's rent at the alehouse floor

Break from the jail, takе the hills to voe
Tell Clara you'll bе back for her, on a ship from Nova Scotia

Jack Hara was an Orkney man who sailed the Arctic Sea
On a ship called the Anna with a goodly company
Jack Hara was an Orkney man, he drank down buckets of ale
Beside the coast of Greenland, he killed the king of the whales

A luckier gambler never laid an ace upon a queen

When his chest is full of gold, back to his sweetheart he'll come

Flogged by the mast, burn the body down
Leave the five of spades on the smoky ground
