Hear me Gallant sailor hear me
while your country has a Foe.
He is mine too, never fear me,
I may weep, But you must go,
I may weep, I may weep, But you must go,
for this flow'ry season woos you
to the peaceful sports of May,
And love sighs so long to Loose You,
Love to Glory shall give way,
Love to Glory, love to glory must give way.


Sailor:

Can the Sons of Britain fail her,
While her Daughters are so true,
Can the Sons of Britain fail her,
While her Daughters are so true,
Your soft Courage must avail her,
We love Honour loving You.
We love Honour loving You,
We love Honour loving You,
For the German flute


Boatswain:

War and Danger now invite us,
Blow Ye winds auspicious blow,
War and Danger now invite us,
Blow Ye winds auspicious blow,
Ev'ry Gale will, must delight us,
That can waft us to the Foe.
Ev'ry Galewill, must delight us,
That can waft us to the Foe.
