And it's row, me bully boys
We're in a hurry boys
We got a long way to go
We'll sing and we'll dance and bid farewell to France
And it's row, me bully boys, row
We sailed away in the roughest of water
Row, me bully boys, row
But now we return in the most royal quarters
And row, me bully boys, row
And it's row, me bully boys
We're in a hurry, boys
We got a long way to go
We'll sing and we'll dance and bid farewell to France
And it's row, me bully boys, row
See now we feast on pheasants by the flock
Row, me bully boys, row
It's a long, long way from the gruel and the stocks
And it's row, me bully boys, row
And it's row, me bully boys
We're in a hurry, boys
We got a long way to go
We'll sing and we'll dance and bid farewell to France
And it's row, me bully boys, row
Love, don't you leave me alone
Say you'll be waiting when we take the cove
If we make good time on the tides
Say you'll lay with me in starlight tonight
Let the mainsail be full and the fair breezes blow
Let's pray every pull finds us closer to home
And it's row!

A wee dram of whisky for every man
Row, me bully boys, row
And a barrel of rum for the shanty man
And it's row, me bully boys, row
And it's row, me bully boys
We're in a hurry, boys
We got a long way to go
We'll sing and we'll dance and bid farewell to France
And it's row, me bully boys, row
We sailed away in the roughest of water
Row, me bully boys, row
But now we return and so lock up your daughters
And row, me bully boys, row
And it's row, me bully boys
We're in a hurry, boys
We got a long way to go
We'll sing and we'll dance and bid farewell to France
And it's row, me bully boys, row
