Come, come my jolly lads, the wind's abast,
Brisk gales our sails shall crowd;
Come bustle, bustle boys, haul the boat,
The boatswain pipes aloud.
The ship's unmoored, all hands aboard,
The rising gale fills every sail,
The ship's well manned and stored.
Then sling the flowing bowl;
Fond hopes arise
The girls we prize
Shall bless each jovial soul.
The can boys bring, we'll drink and sing,
While foaming billows roll.
