We set sail at half-past morn
Looking for a new tomorrow
Don't know when we're coming home
So we'll drink, and we'll dance
And we'll drown our sorrow!

Weigh-hey! Hey Laddie Hey!
Weigh, hey, hey!
We'll drink the night away!

Now, I don't know what there lies in store
But it's better than this
That's why I'm willing
To stake my claim on a foreign shore
Whit me spoons, and me fiddle
And half a shlling!

Weigh-hey! Hey Laddie Hey!
Weigh, hey, hey!
We'll drink the night away!

I dreamt a place
I know it's true
Where the dolphins play and it's always sunny
The girls are brown and the ocean blue
Less work to do
But you make more money!
Weigh-hey! Hey Laddie Hey!
Weigh, hey, hey!
We'll drink the night away!

I must be off by morning's light
I can hear our bo'sun's whistle blowing
So its one more kiss
And one more fight
And one more song while the beer is flowing!

Weigh-hey! Hey Laddie Hey!
Weigh, hey, hey!
We'll drink the night away!

When the sky is grey
Look out to sea
When the waves are high and the light is dying
Well raise a glass and think of me...
When I'm home again
Boys, I'll be buying!

Weigh-hey! Hey Laddie Hey!
Weigh, hey, hey!
We'll drink the night away!

Weigh-hey! Hey Laddie Hey!
Weigh, hey, hey!
We'll drink the night away!
Weigh-hey! Hey Laddie Hey!
Weigh, hey, hey!
We'll drink the night away!

Weigh-hey! Hey Laddie Hey!
Weigh, hey, hey!
We'll drink the night away!
