verse 1 
         D  
Ah, when Jack comes ashore 
         G        A 
He's got money galore 
         D                      A 
And he's seldom cut short of a job 
        D 
He can dress now as well 
   G       A 
As any can tell 
       D           A            D 
With a good silver watch in his fob 


      D 
Poor Jack in his life 
          G             A 
Was ne'er paired with a wife 
        D                       A 
Though sometimes with lasses he links 
       D 
He's a seafaring sailmate 
    G        A 
Can gambol a caper 
D             A          D 
Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks 


verse 2 
When inclined for to spend 
He walks with a friend 
And with pleasure he sits himself down 
He tips off his glass 
And he winks at the lass 
And he smiles if she happens to frown 

Chorus 2 
And like a ramblin' true blue 
When the rent becomes due 
On the table the money he clinks 
He's a seafaring sailmate 
Can gambol a caper 
Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks 

verse 3 
Round home the other fall 
We fell into a squall 
Now the northermost head of Cape Freels 
We were washed away 
Without further delay 
At the thought how my spirit it chills 

Chorus 3 
We were bashed on the rocks 
Like a hard hunted fox 
Of death and destruction he thinks 
He's a seafaring sailmate 
Can gambol a caper 
Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks 
Oh, Jack Hinks 

verse 4 
Jack without fail 
Was out in that same gale 
Having drove across Bonavist Bay 
Oh Neptune did sail 
As he handed all sail 
And he had his two spars cut away 

Chorus 4 
Oh, but Providence kind so eases the wind 
And on sailors so constantly thinks 
He saved 
That seafaring sailmate 
Can gambol a caper 
That seafaring sailmate 
Can gambol a caper 
That seafaring sailmate 
Can gambol a caper 
Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks.
