I'll sing you a song, it's a song of the sea
Row, me bully boys, row
Oh I'll sing you a song if you'll sing it with me
And it's row, me bully boys, row
Chorus
And it's row, me bully boys
We're in a hurry, boys
We got a long way to go
And we'll sing and we'll dance
And bid farewell to France
And it's row, me bully boys, row
While the first mate is plating the captain aboard
He looks like a peacock in pistols and sword
Chorus
The captain likes whiskey the mate he likes rum
Us sailors like both but we can't get us none
Chorus
Well farewell my love it is time for to roam
The ol' Blue Peter’s a’calling us home
