SAVE YOUR MONEY WHILE YOU'RE YOUNG



Come all you jolly good fellows, I'll sing to you a song

It's all about them shanteyboys and it won't take me long

For it's now that I regret the day, while I'm working out

in the cold

Save your money when you're young, me boys, you'll need it

when you're old



For once I was a shantey boy, now wasn't I a lad?

And the way I spent me money, now wasn't it too bad?

But it's now that I regret the day, while I'm working

out in the cold

Save your money when you're young, me boys, you'll need it

when you're old



And if you are a married man, I'll tell you what to do

Just be good to you're wife and family, as you have

sworn to do

Stay away from all grog shops where liquor is bought and sold

Save your money when you're young, me boys, you'll need it

when you're old



And if you are a single man, I'll tell you what to do

Just find yourself some pretty young girl that to you will

prove true

Just find yourself some pretty girl that is not over bold

That will stick to you through life and be a comfort when

you're old



For once I was a shanty boy, now wasn't I a lad?

And the way I spent me money, now wasn't it too bad?

But it's now that I regret the day, while I'm working

out in the cold

Save your money when you're young, me boys, you'll need it

when you're old
