Jakey's Gin Lyrics - Play - Great Big Sea

When I was a young man I was let astray 

I met with a body down in Logy Bay 

We went out in a weather 

We wore out our shoes, 

And up Kingsway road for a drink or two 

CHORUS: 

Drink 'er up boys its well after ten 

Drink 'er up boys its well after ten 

Some people say that the pinky is fine 

Others will swear by a drop of moonshine 

But as for myself I'm a bottle of each, 

mixed in with a gallon of dipper or screech 

CHORUS 

Its the old shavin' lotion thats made me this way 

Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea 

And when in the evening when we're feeling fine 

We'll stop into Jakey's for icon and shine 

CHORUS 

Its the old shavin' lotion thats made me this way 

Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea 

And when in the morning when I'm feeling rough 

I curse, ol' Jakey who sold me this stuff 

CHORUS x 2
