Captain Job Terry
Don’t you know Job Terry?
I thought everybody knew Job Terry
My name is Captain Job Terry,
my people from Kerry
But I a Poughkeepsie Celt.
I make a dashing impression,
Held down the whaling profession
For at least two score or more.
I’ve worked the coast like a rambler
Broke bread with Governors and gamblers,
Courted princesses and prostitutes to boot,
I’ve rubbed elbows with them all
Just name any Port of Call.
My name is Captain Job Terry.
Don’t you know Job Terry?
I thought everybody knew Job Terry
