[Verse 1]
[C]Upon the isle of Newfoundland
there lived a sailor [G]boy.
He was a handsome sailor lad,
his father's pride and [C]joy.
He was born and boarded
his father's ship
on a dark and stormy [G]morn,
and he helped the crew
harpoon a whale
on the day that he was born.
[C]Jack was every inch a sai[G]lor,
five and twenty years a [C]whaler.
Jack was every inch a [G]sailor,
he was born upon the bright blue [C]sea.
When Jack grew up to be a man,
he sailed from shore to [G]shore.
He sailed his ship around the world
a dozen times or more.
[C]Harpooning whales was play to him,
for he was very [G]strong,
And he was also very tall,
and his beard was very [C]long.
Jack was every inch a [G]sailor,
five and twenty years a [C]whaler.
Jack was every inch a [G]sailor,
he was born upon the bright blue [C]sea.
One night while Jack was standing, watch,
a storm began to blow.
[G]It blew so hard
that soon the ship was tossing to [C]and fro.
A great big wave rolled up to Jack
and washed him to the [G]rail.
And he was tossed into the sea
and swallowed by a [C]whale.
Old Jack was every inch a [G]sailor.
Five and twenty years a [C]whaler.
Jack was every inch a [G]sailor.
He was born upon the bright blue [C]sea.
Now when that whale had
swallowed Jack,
he soon began to [G]shake,
for this old whale had got himself
a mighty stomachache.
[C]Well now, said Jack,
this poor old whale don't
know what he's [G]about,
so he grabbed that whale all by the tail
and pulled him inside [C]out.
Jack was a French [G]sailor,
Five and twenty years a [C]whaler,
Jack was a French [G]sailor,
He was born upon the bright blue [C]sea.
