The winds Nor'-west my gal-lant tars,
Heave Ho! lads, heave ho!
Run up the good old stripes and stars
Heave Ho! lads, heave ho!
Once more my trust-y tars the main,
Shall be our home and once a-gain
We'll show Cape Horn the nan-cy Jane
Heave Ho! my lads, heave ho!
so all a-board my gal-lant crew,
Each tars a sai-lor born
we'll man the good ship Nan-cy Jane
when Jack sails round Cape Horn.

Unloose the mainsail, bear a hand,
Heave Ho! lads, heave ho!
A spank-ing breeze blows off the land,
Heave Ho! lads, heave ho!
Before the sun sets on the plain
The am'rous waves shall kiss again
their loving lassie Nancy Jane
Heave Ho! my lads, heave ho!
Then all aboard my gallant tars,
Old Boreas greets the morn
And no ship beats the Nancy jane
When Jack sails round Cape Horn.

Thus spake bold Jack the fearless mate,
Heave Ho! lads, heave ho!
And ev'ry sailor sparne elate
At Jack's ho!, heave ho~
For twenty years he's sailed the main
The winds will waft him back again
commander of the Nancy jane
He ho! my lads, heave ho!
The perils of the sotrmy seas
The fearless tar will scorn
And trust in heav'n, in gale or breeze
When Jack sails round Cape Horn.

Where did this one surface, MMario?

And the proofreader in me can't resist marveling over:

"The perils of the sotrmy seas"

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
