Come cheer up my lads, 'tis to glory we steer
To add something more to this wonderful year
To honour we call you, as freemen, not slaves
For who are so free as the sons of the waves?
Heart of Oak, are our ships
Jolly Tars, are our men
We always are ready: Steady, boys, Steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer, again and again!
We ne'er see our foes, but we wish them to stay
They never see us, but they wish us away
If they run, why we follow and run them ashore
For if they won't fight us, we cannot do more
Heart of Oak, are our ships
Jolly Tars, are our men
We always are ready: Steady, boys, Steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer, again and again!
They swear they'll invade us, these terrible foes
They frighten our women, our children, our beaus
But, should their flat-bottoms, in darkness, get o'er
Still Britons, they'll find to receive them on shore
Heart of Oak, are our ships
Jolly Tars, are our men
We always are ready: Steady, boys, Steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer, again and again!
We'll still make them fear and we'll still make them flee
And drub them ashore, as we've drubb'd them at sea
Well then cheer up my lads, with one heart, let us sing
Our soldiers, our sailors, our statesmen, our King
Heart of Oak, are our ships
Jolly Tars, are our men
We always are ready: Steady, boys, Steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer, again and again!
We'll still make 'em run and we'll still make 'em sweat
In spite of the devil and Brussels Gazette
Well then cheer up my lads, with one heart, let us sing
Our soldiers, our sailors, our statesmen, our King
Heart of Oak, are our ships
Jolly Tars, are our men
We always are ready: Steady, boys, Steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer, again and again!
We'll fight and we'll conquer, again and again!
