I had posted this as a lyric request a few days ago, but have managed to jot down the words from a YouTube clip of Fisherman's Friends. I have the album also. Here is my transcript: All The Night Long With musket in one hand and balls in the other All the night long laddies, all the night long We’ll fight for good Bessy, we’ll follow no other All the night long laddies, all the night long Chorus Raise up your tankards and join in me toast Soon we will drink it all down Drink to the pleasure we all love the most Then we will have another round We’ll drink to our skipper that won’t let us slumber All the night long laddies, all the night long He’ll repel the boarders with a voice just like thunder All the night long laddies, all the night long We’ll drink to our shipmates for they have no rival All the night long laddies, all the night long As sure as the sky’s blue they’re drunk on arrival All the night long laddies, all the night long We’ll drink to our ladies so fair and so fine All the night long laddies, all the night long They steal all our money and drink all our wine All the night long laddies, all the night long We’ll drink to old England that country so dear All the night long laddies, all the night long She gave us the barley so we could brew beer All the night long laddies, all the night long All the night long laddies, all the night long All the night long laddies, all the night long From Fisherman’s Friends, Proper Job. Credit unknown. It would be great if someone could let me know the author so I can give credit.
