When I was
seven
I went to Devon
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the captain said to me -
"We're going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
Over the irish sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
And that's the life for me."
When I was
nine
I had some wine
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the captain said to me -
"We're going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
Over the irish sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
And that's the life for me."
When I was
eight
I found a mate
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the captain said to me -
"We're going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
Over the irish sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
And that's the life for me."

When I Was One.
When I was
one
I'd just begun
The day I went to sea,
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the captain said to me -
"We're going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
Over the irish sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
And that's the life for me."
When I was
two
I lost my shoe
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the captain said to me -
"We're going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
Over the irish sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
And that's the life for me."
When I was
three
I hurt my knee
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the captain said to me -
"We're going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
Over the irish sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
And that's the life for me."
When I was
four
, knocked at the door
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the captain said to me -
"We're going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
Over the irish sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
And that's the life for me."
When I was
five
I learnt to drive
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the captain said to me -
"We're going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
Over the irish sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
And that's the life for me."
When I was
six
I played some tricks
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the captain said to me -
"We're going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
Over the irish sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
And that's the life for me."
When I was
ten
I bought a hen
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the captain said to me -
"We're going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
Over the irish sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
And that's the life for me."
