HE wind blew shrill and smart,
And the wind awoke my
Again to go a-sailing o'er the sea,
To hear the cordage
And the straining timbers groan,
And to see the flying pennon lie a-lee.
O sailor of the fleet,
It is time to stir the feet!
It's time to man the dingy and to row!
It's lay your hand in
And it's empty down the wine,
And it's drain a health to death before we go!
To death, my lads, we sail;
And it's death that blows the
And death that holds the tiller as we ride.
For he's the king of
In the tempest and the squall,
And the ruler of the Ocean wild and wide!
