Over And Under

[Verse 1]
We'll buy one for the bo's'n
And one for the mates
We'll buy one for your man of the topsail all day
We'll buy one for the striker to keep him on game
And one for the gunner, who's well on his way
And another round just for good measure

[Verse 2]
Well the cabin boy just got promoted today
Sure is working his hands to the bone for his pay
And the helmsman is itching to dock in the bay
Sure, he's not been on land seven months to the day
And another one's not worth the treasure

[Chorus]
So, let's go boys, we'rе over and under
We'll roll through likе thunder
To bring her back home
Here we go, boys
With the waves crashing under
Oh Lord I half wonder
How we're not in the foam

[Verse 3]
We'll buy one for the first mate
When we're out of the storm
And the cooper whose last barrel's splintered and worn
And a round for the surgeon
Who's wrecked as a mule
And the swabbies as well, sure to not would be cruel
As the cook knocks 'em back at his leisure

[Chorus]
So, let's go boys, we're over and under
We'll roll through like thunder
To bring her back home
Here we go, boys
With the waves crashing under
Oh Lord I half wonder
How we're not in the foam

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 4]
Well, the second mate's looking to spend all his pay
And the sailmaker's glass all but weathered and frayed
And yeoman with the powder says it's soaked through and through
And a night on the strong stuff is long overdue
So, to sail with ye's has been a pleasure

[Chorus]
So, let's go boys, we're over and under
We'll roll through like thunder
To bring her back home
Here we go, boys
With the waves crashing under
Oh Lord I half wonder
How we're not in the foam

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause we're through with our plunder
And we'll haul her back home
And we're not yet asunder
So it's land where we roam
