I learned this song from a sailor once. The lyrics I learned were as follows: Felorow we’re sailin’ The Bosun is hailin’ The lads are high in the riggin’ And the wind in the hawse is wailin’ Felorow we’re sailin’ Felorow we’re sailin’ We took her out from Grenoc Felorow and fairleo Six and thirty white sails she wore Like maidens on the valley Felorow we’re sailin’ Felorow we’re sailin’ We passed the land of Erin No signs of it fairin’ The wind, she blew up behind us And it blew ‘till we started swearin’ Felorow we’re sailin’ Felorow we’re sailin’ We’re bound for Nova Scotia Newfoundland and Manitoba We’ll be at sea for a year or more Before this voyage is over Felorow we’re sailin’
