CHORUS

Fall down, fall down, fall down me Gilly
We’re bound away for Americay

Fall down Gilly O’Shea

VERSE 1

We all got drunk in Dublin city
Fall down me Gilly
We all got drunk, sure more’s the pity

Fall down Gilly O’Shea

CHORUS

VERSE 2

We lay ourselves down on Sir Rogerson’s Quay
Fall down me Gilly
And when we woke we were out to sea
Fall down Gilly O’Shea

CHORUS

VERSE 3

We are not sailors captain dear
Fall down me Gilly
We come from the land and we won’t work here
Fall down Gilly O’Shea

CHORUS

VERSE 4

Says the captain, “I’ve a cure for that”
Fall down me Gilly
“And here for a start is a dose of the cat”
Fall down Gilly O’Shea

CHORUS

VERSE 5

We’ll sent her up to the top-mast yard
Fall down me Gilly
And when she hit the deck, well she took it hard
Fall down Gilly O’Shea

CHORUS

VERSE 6

So we wrapped her in the Captain’s sail
Fall down me Gilly
And lowered her gently o’er the rail
Fall down Gilly O’Shea

CHORUS

VERSE 7

Over the side and down she goes
Fall down me Gilly
Down to Davy Jones with a stitch through her nose
Fall down Gilly O’Shea

CHORUS

VERSE 8

Oh and as she went I heard her say
Fall down me Gilly
I thought we were bound for Americay
Fall down Gilly O’Shea
