WINDLASS SONG
EAVE at the windlass !—Heave O, cheerly, men ! Heave all at once, with a will! The tide's quickly making, Our cordage is creaking, The water has put on a frill, Heave O ! |
||
|
Fare-you-well, sweethearts !—Heave O, cheerly, men ! Shore gambarado and sport! The good ship all ready, Each dog-vane is steady, The wind blowing dead out of port, Heave O! |
|||
|
Once in blue water—Heave O, cheerly, men ! Blow it from north or from south; She'll stand to it tightly, And curtsy politely, And carry a bone in her mouth, Heave O! |

Short cruise or long cruise—Heave O, cheerly, men Jolly Jack Tar thinks it one, No latitude dreads he Of White, Black, or Red sea, Great icebergs, or tropical sun, Heave O 1 |
