LYRICS

00:00 / 01:04

Wey hey
Wey hey
Roll and go
Roll and go

Brace the yardarm sharp to the port
Careful as he calls the report
Fair winds and following sea
Fair winds and following sea


We’re rounding the horn
We’re rounding the horn
Heave up awl
Heave up awl

Brace the yardarm sharp to the port
Careful as he calls the report
Fair winds and following sea
Fair winds and following sea


Whisky O
Whisky O
Johnny O
Johnny O

Brace the yardarm sharp to the port
Careful as he calls the report
Fair winds and following sea
Fair winds and following sea


Farewell and Adieu
Farewell and Adieu
To yer and yer and yer
To yer and yer and yer

Brace the yardarm sharp to the port
Careful as he calls the report
Fair winds and following sea
Fair winds and following sea
