Original Dropkick Murphys version
I'm a sailor peg and I lost my leg
Climbing up the topsails, I lost my leg
I'm shipping up to Boston (whoa oh oh)
I'm shipping up to Boston (whoaaa)
I'm shipping up to Boston (whoa oh oh)
I'm shipping up to find my wooden leg
I'm a sailor peg and I lost my leg
Climbing up the topsails, I lost my leg
I'm shipping up to Boston (whoa oh oh)
I'm shipping up to Boston (whoaaa)
I'm shipping up to Boston (whoa oh oh)
I'm shipping up to find my wooden leg
