CHORUS

We'll be ranting and roaring and rolling no more

Until we set sight on that long-lost sea shore

And the gally with water and meat we'll restore

Or be ranting and roaring and rolling no more

Farewell you, my lovely young lassie, farewell

I'm gone to the sea to meet all kinds of hell

But when I return I'll ring them wedding bells

And I'll marry you then in the morning

CHORUS

The sea was alive when we set sail for you

And the bosun was certain the course was well true

Then the storm hit and ripped our main mast clean in two

And it left us adrift in the deep ocean blue

CHORUS

Alas my young love we are caught on the sea

With no wind in the sails and no land we can see

I can hear your soft voice saying "come home to me"

But I fear I will not be returning

CHORUS

The water's dried up and the food is all gone

The sun beats right down and it sure won't be long

Til Old Davey, he drags me to where I belong

Way down in the depths of the deep ocean blue

CHORUS

But at last came the wind and it drove us to home

Where we all laid on land and swore no more to roam

And now I can say that you won't be alone

For I'm marrying you in the morning
