Saturday Night Song at Sea

Come fill the can again, boys,
One parting glass, one parting glass;
Ere we shall meet again, boys,
Long years may pass, long years may pass.
We’ll drink the gallant bark, boys,
That’s borne us through, that’s borne us through,
Bright waves and billows dark, boys,
Our ship and crew, our ship and crew.
We’ll drink those eyes that bright, boys,
With smiling ray, with smiling ray,
Have shone like stars to light, boys,
Our wat’ry way, our wat’ry way.
We’ll drink our English home, boys,
Our fatherland, our fatherland,
And the shores to which we’re come, boys,
A sister strand, a sister strand.
