And, swearing, prays for wind, sir.

Towing here,

Yeoing there,

Steadily, readily,

Cheerily, merrily,

Still from care and thinking free.

Is a sailor’s life at sea.

“When we sail with a freshening breeze,

And landsmen all grow sick, sir,

The sailor lolls with his mind at ease,

And the song and the glass go quick, sir.

Laughing here,

Quaffing there,

Steadily, readily,

Cheerily, merrily,

Still from care and thinking free,

Is a sailor’s life at sea.

“When the wind at night whistles over the deep,

And sings to landsmen dreary,

The sailor, fearless, goes to sleep,

Or takes his watch most cheery.

Boozing here,

Snoozing there,

Steadily, readily,

Cheerily, merrily,

Still from care and thinking free,

Is a sailor’s life at sea.
