Now we are ready to head for the Horn
Weigh, hey, roll an' go!
Our boots an' our clothes boys are all in the pawn
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!
Heave a pawl, oh, heave away
Weigh, hey, roll and go!
The anchor's on board an' the cable's all stored
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!
Oh, man the stout caps'n and heave with a will
Weigh, hey, roll an' go!
Soon we'll be drivin' her 'way up the hill
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!
Heave a pawl, oh, heave away
Weigh, hey, roll and go!
The anchor's on board an' the cable's all stored
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!
Heave away, bullies, ye parish-rigged bums
Weigh, hey, roll and go!
Take yer hands from yer pockets and don't suck yer thumbs
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!
Heave a pawl, oh, heave away
Weigh, hey, roll and go!
The anchor's on board an' the cable's all stored
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!
We're outward bound for Vallipo Bay
Weigh, hey, roll and go!
Get crackin', me lads, it's a hell of a way!
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!
Heave a pawl, oh, heave away
Weigh, hey, roll and go!
The anchor's on board an' the cable's all stored
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!
Heave a pawl, oh, heave away
Weigh, hey, roll and go!
The anchor's on board an' the cable's all stored
To be rollickin' randy dandy O!
