HOME Call all hands to man the capstan See the cable run down clear Heave away and with a will boys For old england we will steer And w'll sing in joyfull chorus In the watches of the night And we sight the shore of england When the gray dawn brings the light Refrein: Rolling home, rolling home Rolling home across the sea Rolling home to dear old england Rolling home dear land to thee Now farewell your australian daughters We shall leave your good for short We shall soon cross the flew waters To see our hope and friends once more We shall sing that songs and shanty's Say goodbye to all friends here We shall soon tramp our anchor And for old england we shall steer (Refrein) Many thousands miles behind us Many thousands miles before Ancient ocean heave tot waft us To the well-remembered shore Cheer up Jack bright smiles await you From the fairest of the fair And her loving eyes will greet you With kind welcomes ever here (Refrein} Eastward ever eastward To the rising of the sun We have steered ever eastward Since our voyage has begun Off cape-horn on a winters morning Setting sails in ice and snow You could hear the shell backs calling Hoist away and let her go (Refrein) |
