Lyrics by:Traditional
Composed by:Traditional
Safe and sound at home again let the waters roar Jack
Safe and sound at home again let the waters roar Jack
Long we've tossed on the rolling main now we're safe ashore Jack
Don't forget yer old shipmate faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe
Since we sailed from Plymouth sound four years gone or nigh Jack
Was there ever chummies now such as you and I Jack
Long we've tossed on the rolling main now we're safe ashore Jack
Don't forget yer old shipmate faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe
We have worked the self-same gun quarterdeck division
Sponger I and loader you through the whole commission
Long we've tossed on the rolling main now we're safe ashore Jack
Don't forget yer old shipmate faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe
When the middle watch was on and the time went slow boy
Who could choose a rousing stave who like Jack or Joe boy
Long we've tossed on the rolling main now we're safe ashore Jack
Don't forget yer old shipmate faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe
There she swings an empty hulk not a soul below now
Number seven starboard mess misses Jack and Joe now
Long we've tossed on the rolling main now we're safe ashore Jack
Don't forget yer old shipmate faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe
But the best of friends must part fair or foul the weather
Hand yer flipper for a shake now a drink together
Long we've tossed on the rolling main now we're safe ashore Jack
Don't forget yer old shipmate faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe
