The British Empire Lyrics

Now we are ready to sail for the Horn,
Weigh hey, roll and go!
Our boots and our clothes boys are all in the p***,
To be rollicking randy dandy O!
Heave a pawl, oh, heave away,
Weigh hey, roll and go!
The anchor's on board and the cable's all stored,
To be rollicking randy dandy O!

Soon we'll be warping her out through the locks,
Weigh hey, roll and go!
Where the pretty young girls all come down in their flocks,
To be rollicking randy dandy O!
Heave a pawl, oh, heave away,
Weigh hey, roll and go!
The anchor's on board and the cable's all stored,
To be rollicking randy dandy O!

Come breast the bars, bullies, heave her away,
Weigh hey, roll and go!
Soon we'll be rolling her down through the Bay,
To be rollicking randy dandy O!
Heave a pawl, oh, heave away,
Weigh hey, roll and go!
The anchor's on board and the cable's all stored,
To be rollicking randy dandy O!
