The Dreadnoughts - Whup! Jamboree lyrics
[The Dreadnoughts - Whup! Jamboree lyrics]
With hands on the cane, heavin' on the lead
And the old man roars to wake the dead
"Come and get your oats, my son"
Whup! Jamboree, Whup! Jamboree
Oh ya long tailed black mare comin’ up behind
Whup! Jamboree, Whup! Jamboree
A-come and get your oats my son
Oh, now we pass them Lizard lights
And the Start, me boys
We will heave in sight
And soon we're abreast of the Isle of Wight
Come and get your oats my son
Whup! Jamboree, Whup! Jamboree
Oh ya long tailed black mare comin’ up behind
Whup! Jamboree, Whup! Jamboree
A-come and get your oats, my son
And now we get to the Blackwall docks
And them pretty young girls
Comin' down in flocks
With their short legged drawers
And long tailed frocks
Come and get your oats, my son
Whup! Jamboree, Whup! Jamboree
Oh ya long tailed black mare comin’ up behind
Whup! Jamboree, Whup! Jamboree
A-come and get your oats, my son
And now the bar-ship is in sight
We're picking on down to the old Rock Light
Gonna get the ol' stick taped tonight
Come and get your oats, my son
Whup! Jamboree, Whup! Jamboree
Oh ya long tailed black mare comin’ up behind
Whup! Jamboree, Whup! Jamboree
A-come and get your oats, my son
Well, then we'll walk down Limelight Way
And with all the girls will spend our pay
We'll not see more 'til another day
Come and get your oats, my son
Whup! Jamboree, Whup! Jamboree
Oh ya long tailed black mare comin’ up behind
Whup! Jamboree, Whup! Jamboree
A-come and get your oats, my son
And soon we'll see old Holyhead
No more salt beef, no more bread
I catch my Jinny and it's off to bed
Come and get your oats, my son
Whup! Jamboree, Whup! Jamboree
Oh ya long tailed black mare comin’ up behind
Whup! Jamboree, Whup! Jamboree
A-come and get your oats, my son
Whup! Jamboree, Whup! Jamboree
Oh ya long tailed black mare comin’ up behind
Whup! Jamboree, Whup! Jamboree
A-come and get your oats, my son
