ROLLING HOME

Pipe all hands to man the capstan,
See your cables are all clear;
See all on deck is clear for running
For the land we love is near.

CHORUS:
Rolling home, rolling home across the sea,
O rolling home to merry England,
Rolling home, fair land, to thee.

If we all heave with a will, boys,
Soon our anchor we will trip,
And we'll set the sails aloft, boys,
That will drive our gallant ship.
(CHORUS)

And the wild winds left behind us
Seem to murmur as they go,
Far away fond hearts await you,
In the land to which you go.
(CHORUS)
