Go My Way Lyrics & Tabs by Bellowhead
Go My Way
guitar chords lyrics
It was on one summer's evening
Heave and haul away
When the full moon it was waning
Won't you go my way?
I met her on the bowery
Down in Mobil Bay
Her beauty overpowered me
Won't you go my way?
Come my own love, come my true love
Come and listen unto me
Could you fancy a poor sailor
Who's just come from the sea?
You are ragged, you are dirty
And your clothes smell of tar
So be off you saucy sailor
You are ragged, you are dirty
And your clothes smell of tar
So be off you saucy sailor
Be off you jacky tar
Her lips were red and rosy
Heave and haul away
And her figure was neat and cosy
Won't you go my way?
So I asked her for to marry
Heave and haul away
But she said she'd rather tarry
Won't you go my way?
Won't you go my way? Won't you go my way?
When the ocean's bright in the pale moonlight
Won't you go my way?
Do you think that I am foolish?
Do you think that I am mad?
For to marry with the likes of you
When there's no money to be had
Though I'm ragged and I'm dirty
And my clothes of tar they smell
I have silver in my pocket
And a store of gold as well
And when she heard him say these words
Down on her knees she fell
Saying "Dirty, ragged sailor
I love more than words can tell"
Do you think that I am foolish?
Do you think that I am mad?
For to marry with the likes of you
When there are better girls to be had
So I left her in the morning
Heave and haul away
In the morning bright and early
Won't you go my way?
And I'm on my way to Frisco
Heave and haul away
Yes I'm off to San Francisco
Won't you go my way?
For I'll sail across the ocean
And my ship will spread her wings
I'll find a better love than you
It's not for you this wedding ring
I am frolicsome and easy
Good-tempered and free
And I don't give a single pin
What the world thinks of me
So it's goodbye Juliana
Heave and haul away
And it's farewell Juliana
Won't you go my way?
Now I'm on my way to Frisco
Heave and haul away
Yes I'm off to San Francisco
Won't you go my way?
Won't you go my way? Won't you go my way?
When the ocean's bright in the pale moonlight
Won't you go my way?
