Ashore me love awaits for me
As pretty as she is
The winds of salvation, a widow we visit
Of a sailor, who died for his nation!

Aye-dee-ay-hey, we roar and we swear, at the horizon we'd stare!
Aye-dee-ay-hey, we roar and we swear, at the horizon we'd stare!

The shaking ship, our company's fine
The great splashing brine
The winds of salvation, the widow we visit
Of a sailor, who died for his nation!

Aye-dee-ay-hey, we roar and we swear, at the horizon we'd stare!
Aye-dee-ay-hey, we roar and we swear, at the horizon we'd stare!

The life on the sea, as hard as can be!
No remorse, no pain, no grief and some bloodstains!
Rum for me suffering, rum for me pain
And a little to write this refrain!

Aye-dee-ay-hey, we roar and we swear, at the horizon we'd stare!
Aye-dee-ay-hey, we roar and we swear
At the horizon we'd stare!
