Spanish Ladies |
Farewell and adieu unto you Spanish ladies |
Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain |
For we have received orders to sail to old England |
We hope in a short time to see you again |
We’ll rant and we’ll roar like true British sailors |
We’ll rant and we’ll roar along the salt seas |
Until we strike soundings in the Channel of Old England |
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues |
We hove our ship to with the wind on sou’west, boys |
We hove our ship to, deep soundings to take |
Twas forty-five fathoms, with a white sandy bottom |
So we squared our main yard and up channel did make |
We’ll rant and we’ll roar like true British sailors |
We’ll rant and we’ll roar along the salt seas |
Until we strike soundings in the Channel of Old England |
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues |
Now let every man drink off his full bumper |
And let every man drink off his full glass |
We’ll drink and be jolly and drown melancholy |
Here’s to the health of each true-hearted lass |
We’ll rant and we’ll roar like true British sailors |
We’ll rant and we’ll roar along the salt seas |
Until we strike soundings in the Channel of Old England |
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues |
The first land we made was called the Dodman |
Next Ram Head off Plymouth, off Portland the Wight |
We sailed by Beachy, by Fairlee and Dover |
Then abreast away for South Foreland Light |
We’ll rant and we’ll roar like true British sailors |
We’ll rant and we’ll roar along the salt seas |
Until we strike soundings in the Channel of Old England |
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues |
The signal is made for the grand fleet to anchor |
And all in the Downs that night for to lie; |
Let go your shank painter, let go your cat |
Haul up your clew-garnets |
Let tacks and sheets fly! |
We’ll rant and we’ll roar like true British sailors |
We’ll rant and we’ll roar along the salt seas |
Until we strike soundings in the Channel of Old England |
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues |
Now let every man drink off his full bumper |
And let every man drink off his full glass |
We’ll drink and be jolly and drown melancholy |
Here’s to the health of each true-hearted lass |
We’ll rant and we’ll roar like true British sailors |
We’ll rant and we’ll roar along the salt seas |
Until we strike soundings in the Channel of Old England |
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues |
