LYRICS
CHORUS
And it's row, me bully gals
We're in a hurry, gals
We got a long way to go
And we'll sing and we'll dance
And bid farewell to France
And it's row, me bully gals, row
VERSE 1
I'll sing you a song, it's a song of the sea
Row, me bully gals, row
Oh, I'll sing you a song if you'll sing it with me
And it's row, me bully gals, row
CHORUS
VERSE 2
The first mate is playing the captain a board
Row, me bully gals, row
She looks like a peacock with pistols and sword
And it's row, me bully gals, row
CHORUS
VERSE 3
The captain likes whiskey, the mate, she likes rum
Row, me bully gals, row
Us sailors like both but we can't get us none
And it's row, me bully gals, row
CHORUS
VERSE 4
Well farewell my love, it is time for to roam
Row, me bully gals, row
The ol' blue peters are calling us home
And it's row, me bully gals, row
CHORUS
VERSE 5
I'll sing you a song, it's a song of the sea
Row, me bully gals, row
Oh, I'll sing you a song if you'll sing it with me
And it's row, me bully gals, row
CHORUS x 2
