A wet sheet and a flowing sea
A wind that follows fast
And fills the white and rustling sail
And bends the gallant mast!
And bends the gallant mast, me boys
While like the eagle free
Away the good ship flies, and leaves
Old England on the lee

"Oh, for a soft and gentle wind!"
I heard a fair one cry
But give to me the snoring breeze
And white waves heaving high!
And white waves heaving high me lads
The good ship tight and free
The world of waters is our home
And merry men are we

Thеre’s tempest in yon hornе’d moon
And lightning in yon cloud
But hark the music, mariners
The wind is piping loud!
The wind is piping loud, me boys
The lightning flashes free!
While the hollow oak our palace is
Our heritage the sea
A wet sheet and a flowing sea
A wind that follows fast
And fills the white and rustling sail
And bends the gallant mast!
And bends the gallant mast, me boys
While like the eagle free
Away the good ship flies, and leaves
Old England on the lee
Away the good ship flies, and leaves
Old England on the lee
