Look lively lads,Haul on those ropes
Atlst we're Homeward bound
with a following wind we have high hopes
to be home before christmas comes around

chorus : Pray God to fill that sail
         with a favourable gale
         Give us fine fast running seas
         And we'll make it home for christmas boys
         To our wives and our families

We've sailed accross the seven seas
such sights we all have seen
but now we long for our families
To tell them where weve been

Around the world we all did roam
many girls in many ports
But now at last we're headed for home
And our wives are in our thoughts

And in our last few ports of call
when we've had our runs ahore
we've sought out gifts for wone and all
And who could ask for more

So weigh that anchor set that sail
don't slack along the way
with this good wind unless luck fails
We'll be home for Christmas day
