1. When I was one, I sucked my thumb The day I went to sea I jumped aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me
CHORUS We’ll be going this way, that way, forwards, and backwards, over the Irish Sea. With a bottle of rum to warm my tum, That’s the life for me.
2. When I was two I buckled my shoe The day I went to sea I jumped aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me
CHORUS
3. When I was three I slapped my knee The day I went to sea I jumped aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me
CHORUS
4. When I was four I shut the door The day I went to sea I jumped aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me
CHORUS
5. When I was five I sat on a hive The day I went to sea I jumped aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me
CHORUS
6. When I was six I picked up sticks The day I went to sea I jumped aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me
CHORUS
7. When I was seven I went to heaven The day I went to sea I jumped aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me
CHORUS
8. When I was eight I shut the gate The day I went to sea I jumped aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me
CHORUS
9. When I was nine I drunk the wine The day I went to sea I jumped aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me
CHORUS
10 When I was ten I sang it again The day I went to sea I jumped aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me CHORUS
