The Jolly Rogers - Don't Forget Your Old Shipmates lyrics
[The Jolly Rogers - Don't Forget Your Old Shipmates lyrics]
Let the waters roar, jack
Safe and sound at home again
Let the waters roar, jack
Long we’ve tossed on the rolling
Main, now we’re safe ashore, jack
Don’t forget your old shipmate
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye oh
Since we sailed from Plymouth Sound
Four years gone, or nigh, jack
Was there ever chummies, now, such
As you and I, jack
Long we’ve tossed on the rolling
Main, now we’re safe ashore, jack
Don’t forget your old shipmatе
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye oh
Wе have worked the self-same gun
Quarterdeck division
Sponger I and loader you
Through the whole commission
Long we’ve tossed on the rolling
Main, now we’re safe ashore, jack
Don’t forget your old shipmate
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye oh
Often have we laid out
Toil nor danger fearing
Tugging out the flapping sail
To the weather earring
Long we’ve tossed on the rolling
Main, now we’re safe ashore, jack
Don’t forget your old shipmate
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye oh
When the middle watch was on
And the time went slow, boy
Who could choose a rousing stave
Who like Jack or Joe, boy
Long we’ve tossed on the rolling
Main, now we’re safe ashore, jack
Don’t forget your old shipmate
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye oh
There she swings, an empty hulk
Not a soul below now
Number seven starboard mess misses
Jack and Joe now
Long we’ve tossed on the rolling
Main, now we’re safe ashore, jack
Don’t forget your old shipmate
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye oh
But the best of friends must part
Fair or foul the weather
Hand yer flipper for a shake
Now a drink together
Long we’ve tossed on the rolling
Main, now we’re safe ashore, jack
Don’t forget your old shipmate
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye oh
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye oh
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye oh
