CHORUS

Fall down, fall down, fall down me Billy

We’re bound away for Americay

Fall down Billy O’Shea

We all got drunk in Dublin city

Fall down me Billy

We all got drunk, sure more’s the pity

Fall down Billy O’Shea

CHORUS

We lay ourselves down on Sir Rogerson’s Quay

Fall down me Billy

And when we woke we were out to sea

Fall down Billy O’Shea

CHORUS

We are not sailors captain dear

Fall down me Billy

We come from the land and we won’t work here

Fall down Billy O’Shea

CHORUS

Says the captain, “I’ve a cure for that”

Fall down me Billy

“And here for a start is a dose of the cat”

Fall down Billy O’Shea

CHORUS

Well sent him up to the top-mast yard

Fall down me Billy

And when he hit the deck, well he took it hard

Fall down Billy O’Shea

CHORUS

So we wrapped him in the Captain’s sail

Fall down me Billy

And lowered him gently o’er the rail

Fall down Billy O’Shea

CHORUS

Over the side and down he goes

Fall down me Billy

Down to Davy Jones with a stitch through his nose

Fall down Billy O’Shea

CHORUS

Oh and as he went I heard him say

Fall down me Billy

I thought we were bound for Americay

Fall down Billy O’Shea
