🎸 Verse 1:
F           Gm
As I walked down the Broadway
A#        C
One evening last July
F         Gm
I met a maid who asked me trade
A#      C     F
And a sailor lad says I
F        Gm
To Tiffany's I took her
A#       C
I didn’t mind expense
 F           Gm
I bought her a pair of gold earrings
     A#    C    F
And they cost me fifteen cents

F               Gm
And she says, 'You Limejuice sailor

Now take me home you may
  F          Gm
But when we reached her cottage door
  A#    C    F
She this to me did say
F          Gm
My flash man he's a Yankee
   A#         C
With his hair cut short behind
  F        Gm
He wears a pair of black sea-boots
    A#      C     F
And he sails in the Blackball Line

F               Gm
And He's homeward bound this evening
  A#        C
And with me he will stay
  F        Gm
So get a move on, sailor-boy
  A#    C    F
Get cracking on your way
 F          Gm
I kissed her hard and proper
   A#       C
Afore her flash man came
  F          Gm
So fare thee well, you Bowery girl

I know your little game

F                Gm
And then I wrapped me glad rags round me
  A#        C
And to the docks did steer
    F      Gm
I will never court another girl
   A#    C    F
I'll stick to rum and beer
 F        Gm
I joined a Yankee blood-boat
  A#        C
And sailed away next morn
   F         Gm
Don't mess around with women boys
    A#   C      F
You're safer ‘round Cape Horn
