Capstan Bar
Walk around for we're rollin' homeward
Heave me boys together!
The old bully ship she's a-lying windward
Heave me boys away ...
For we're homeward bound with the wind a-blowin'
Snug up aloft and the ships a-rollin'
Ch: Heave her, or we'll strand her,
And the old ships rolling home,
And the old ships rolling home.
Now can't you hear the wind a howlin'
Heave me boys together!
Can't you hear the bosun growlin'
Heave me boys away ...
For we're taught and trim and the winds a-blowin'
Snug up aloft and the ships a-rollin'.
Chorus
Can't you hear the mate a-bawlin'?
Heave me boys, together!
Can't you hear the girls a-callin'?
Heave me boys away...
Farewell girls, we're bound to leave you.
Goodbye, Sally, and farewell, Lulu!
Chorus
