"Yellow Gals" lyrics - THE IRISH ROVERS

Johnny was a rover and he's bound for Callao
Hey-a-row you yellow gals do a let me go
Johnny was a rover and to sea he's bound to go
Hey-a-row you yellow gals do a let me go

Do a let me go my gals do a let me go
Hey-a-row you yellow gals do a let me go

As I walked down the landing stage
All on a summers' morn
Hey-a-row you yellow gals do a let me go
I met an immigrant Irish girl
A looking all forlorn
Hey-a-row you yellow gals do a let me go

Do a let me go my gals do a let me go
Hey-a-row you yellow gals do a let me go

Good morning mister Captain Sir
Good morning girl says he
Hey-a-row you yellow gals do a let me go
Oh have you got a packet ship
Bound for Amerikay
Hey-a-row you yellow gals do a let me go

Do a let me go my gals do a let me go
Hey-a-row you yellow gals do a let me go

I've got the Jenny Walker
And she's bound around the horn
Hey-a-row you yellow gals do a let me go
With five and fifty immigrants
And a thousand bags of corn
Hey-a-row you yellow gals do a let me go

Do a let me go my gals do a let me go
Hey-a-row you yellow gals do a let me go

Bad luck to Irish sailor boys
Bud luck to them I say
Hey-a-row you yellow gals do a let me go
They all got drunk, broke in me trunk
And stole me clothes away
