Lyrics
We'll buy one for the bosun
And one for the mates
We'll buy one for your man
Upon 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
Well the cabin boy just got promoted today
Sure he's working his hands to the bone for his pay
And the helmsman is itchin' 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
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'd half wonder
How we're not in the foam
We'll buy one for the first mate
When we're out of the storm
And the cooper who's 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 as his leisure
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'd half wonder
How we're not in the foam
Well the second mate's looking
To spend all his pay
And the sailmaker's cloth's
All but withered and frayed
And yer man with the powder
Says it's soaked through and through
And a night on the strong stuff is long overdue
So to sail with yas' has been a pleasure
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'd half wonder
How we're not in the foam
'Cause we're through with our plunder
So we'll haul her back home
And we're not yet asunder
So it's land where we roam
