This is my re-write of this great song:

ROLLING HOME TO OLD CAPE BRETON

Call all hands to man the capstan
Keep the cable running clear
Haul the anchor, hoist the canvas
For our homeland we will steer
Fare thee well, you Boston maidens
Time has come to say adieu
Happy hours we've spent together
But we can't remain with you

Rolling home, rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to old Cape Breton
Rolling home dear land to thee

When we clear the harbour markers
'Cross the Gulf Of Maine we'll sail
Bearing out towards Cape Sable
Running hard before the gale
Along the coast of Nova Scotia
As we fight a heavy storm
Many hundred miles behind us
Just a few more miles before

As we stand beneath the rigging
On the watch that ends the night
We will see Cape Breton Island
With the coming morning light
From of Cape Canso in the darkness
Through Chedabucto Bay we'll go
And drop anchor in Ship Harbour
God will bring us safely home
