Lyrics:

Who's that knocking at my door?
Who's that knocking at my door?
Who's that knocking at my door?
Cried the fair young maiden?

It's only me from over the sea
I'm Barnacle Bill, the Sailor
I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree
I'm Barnacle Bill, the Sailor
I'll sail the sea until I croak
I fight and swear and drink and smoke
But I can't swim a bloomin' stroke
I'm Barnacle Bill, the Sailor

Are you young and handsome, sir?
Are you young and handsome, sir?
Are you young and handsome, sir?
[Cried the fair young maiden]

I'm old and rough and dirty and tough
[Said Barnacle Bill, the Sailor]
I never can get drunk enough
[I'm Barnacle Bill, the Sailor]
I drink my whiskey when I can
Whiskey from an old tin can
For whiskey is the life of man
[I'm Barnacle Bill, the Sailor]

I'll come down and let you in
I'll come down and let you in
I'll come down and let you in
[Cried the fair young maiden

Sing me a love song low and sweet
Sing me a love song low and sweet
Sing me a love song low and sweet
Said the fair young maiden

When shall I see you again?
When shall I see you again?
When shall I see you again?
[Cried the fair young maiden]
